dunno if this has been posted before but some great fights here, great trilogies marquez - vazquez, ward - gatti, morales - barrera but my all time favourite fight hagler v hearns 1985. so good, had me hooked as a 10yo... http://www.fightoftheyear.net/
Reckon all three were great fights Ando. Still can't believe the last one, when, all of sudden, and with little warning, Holly's in trouble, and then he's gone.
Ali v Frazier III. I have seen all 3 fights but this one IMO is the best with Ali looking gone about round 10 but coming back to stop Joe
Have to agree Ali X Frazier 111 a fair dinkum War the most Brutal fights I have ever seen a fight where 2 oponents that hated each other almost died in the ring in pursuit of the world Titlet,till this day have never seen a better fight.!!!! Mahunga
Yeah I thought Ali was going to quit on the stool round 10.....Joe said after I hit him wit some shots that would knock down the city walls...he's a true champ
clay frazier 1... if two warriors met in the jungle taht day......ali was dead. frazier was the greatest. 'whos lookin pretty now'? .
I did like it when foreman punched **** out of Joe and then Ali beat Foremam in what was one of his best tactical victories
'Smokin' Joe is barely looking better than Ali these days Sally, if you've seen the movie 'Facing Ali'. Unfortunately most of those old heavyweight champs have seen far better days. George Chuvello still speaks like he's as sharp as a bloody tack, even though he's lost 2 sons to drugs, and lost his wife. Big George and Larry Holmes are still going alright too, but the rest...
Foreman absolutely demolished Frazier in 1 round Frazier went to the Canvas 3 times before the fight was stopped in the second,Foreman was a Man Mountain and till this day was probably the most powerful Heavyweight that ever lived. Then along came Ali and the Great Rumble in the Jungle,who could forget the Great Man Ali with His famous Ropadope tactics in which Foreman physically punched himself out,Ali was not only the Greatest but also a Great Tactician,they reckon after Foreman could hardly stand from throwing punches Ali said,"It's my turn George" and went on to knock the Big Man out.!!!! Great Memories from 2 Great Fights.!!! Here's the footage of the Frazier V Foreman Fight [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9q7mvc6bsY[/ame] Mahunga
And now watch the Great Man Ali take the Man Mountain George Foreman apart,Ali was giving Foreman both age and Size,but he looks like he is toying with him in this round,he set the trap and george fell for it.!!!!! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10ZIxV9KWgY[/ame]
The incredible thing about Ali was,for 3 Years of his absolute Prime he was not aloud to fight because of refusing the draft,love him or hate him he is without doubt one of the Greatest Boxers ever to put the Gloves on.!!! Mahungai
No argument there. Reckon Kenny Norton was hard done by the judges in their bouts though. Perhaps if Foreman had have fought a smarter fight in Zaire the result might have been different. But Ali had plans C, D, E when others like George only had A. Foreman of course further proved what a legend he is/was with his comeback. But hey, loved Ali!
