    Maybe? Maybe not? I don't think they would. But they'll never meet. So we'll never know for sure.

    Ali is overrated, and overhyped as not only a fighter, but as a person. I seen him fight, live 3 times, many times on film, so those saying "A troll, never seen him fight...." shove it.
    He needed judges to give him Norton bouts, he needed refs to let him hold more than Wlad K., and he had media backing him. He was good, talented, but no where near as great as built up to be.

    He is underrated....he is far greater than his legend.

    I have often wondered what god like status Ali would have held if he died in a plane carsh or similar after the third Frazier...


    Quite rightly he is revered a the god of boxing today

    Some of the things he said were uncalled for and didn't have anything to do with promoting boxing. Might be The Greatest but I have my reservations.

    The Silent Warrior (Mohammed Ali)

    There live a great man named Joe
    who was belittled by a loudmouth foe.
    While his rival would taunt and tease
    Joe silently bore the stings.
    And then fought like gladiator in the ring.

    For every struggle that Joe survived,
    For every dispute he endured, to rise,
    Joe will go down in history
    as a model for champions to come.
    While Frazier was a man of few words,
    Ali was a world of mouth,
    but he found his place in history.
    Now his heart can express him well.
    Joe Frazier was a silent warrior,
    whom Ali silently admired.
    One could not rise without the other.

    Enlighten us on how Ali "cheated" :huh

    ....and don't start with the glove against Henry Cooper, because if anyone cheated there it was Angelo Dundee, not Ali.

    Failure to explain how Ali "cheated' like you claim will be an admission you are trolling. Your move :think

    Ali cheated many ways, what makes it worse, ref let it go on. Examples: Thumbing Ernie Terell repeatedly, holding against everyone excessively, and not breaking when ref gave order, chocking in clinch with forearm to throat (Frazier, Chuvalo, Foreman)

    I've seen the Terrell fight multiple times and there was never any "thumbing" going on, especially "repeatedly" ... Terrell claimed that Ali did "thumb" him but it was most likely unintentional

    Every fighter does that kind of **** ... Tyson used to throw elbows in clinches and hit after the bell ... Lewis would hold and hit ... Wlad literally bear hugs and tries to wrestle guys to the ground ... Foreman got away with more pushing than anyone I've ever seen .. Holmes would thumb guys ... Spinks would elbow guys as well ... I can go on and on

    Nitpicking pedantic ***gots will exaggerate this kind of stuff and call it "cheating" ... especially holding which is part of the sport ... this happens in boxing where guys try and gain every advantage they can ... it may be in violation of the rules but its not "cheating"
