The fight that I'd like to see is olympic Ali before he turned pro versus the Roy Jones Jr that fought Toney and Hopkins early in his career....
205 lbs in 1971 to 214 lbs in 1973? Watch the first two rounds of the FOTC and then watch the first two rounds of Foreman vs Frazier 1973. I see...
Ali got credit from the judges for rounds against Frazier in the second fight that he shouldn't have. He threw the same "shoeshining" flurries...
1964 - 1967 Ali didn't hit nowhere near as hard as the post-exile 1970's Ali. I will agree that pre-exile Ali was faster on his feet and had...
Ruddock was one of the toughest fighters that many heavyweights avoided. He should have used his jab a whole lot more in his career. His...
I can't honestly see Foreman destroying the same Frazier that fought Ali in the FOTC. Take nothing away from Big George because he did exactly...
I respect your opinion but I have to STRONGLY disagree. Watch the first Ali vs Frazier FOTC. I can't remember any Tyson fight in his entire...
He fought underachievers that were highly ranked on a poor ratings system in the 80's and early 90's. Not to discredit what Tyson did during his...
FOTC, 205 lb Joe Frazier KO's Douglas, Foreman and Liston all inside 10 rounds. Post Manilla Joe Frazier got knocked out in 5 rounds by Foreman...
I find it amusing that most of the responses in this thread focus on Frazier's performance against Foreman in 1973 when making comparisons to...
Tony Perez had some bad nights officiating fights and Richard Steele as well. I think Carlos Padilla and Arthur Mercante are some of the best...
Jack Johnson could probably come out of a time machine in his prime and beat every heavyweight today. The only era where I see him running into a...
Joe Frazier IS one of the greatest fighters of all time. The pace that he set in the FOTC against Ali is comparable to that of a middleweight...
This is a hard fight to pick the winner. I'd have to go with Monzon by a very close decision. In fact, it probably could go either way because...
I watched that fight many times and I have a hard time counting enough rounds that Ali won. Take a good look at Ali's demeanor after the fight....
