This, added to the fact that Ali knew, or at least believed, that he could never break Joe Frazier mentally...god knows, he had been trying for...
I do not see the Foreman of the Cooney/Moorer fights beating FOTC Frazier outside of a long shot puncher's chance. FOTC Frazier would likely stop...
With all respect Stevie (and you know I mean that fellah), I admire the way you are standing by your man on this one, but I gotta say I think you...

I remember this, this fight was live on BBC on a Saturday night, I didn't stay in and watch it - I had the choice of a high school party or...
No mention of Hagler in your list?
He's still number 1 for me...
