    I 100% agree with you on this but looks like you haven't voted in the poll!

    Voting for this round ends this afternoon. So consider this an early last call.

    This the only round where the voting has upset me. There is no way that Ali-Frazier 3 is the best round of this bunch. It's a great fight and one of my personal favourites (the greatest heavyweight fight of them all) but in terms of it being a great standalone 3 minutes of action, it's near the bottom of the list against the rest of the competition.

    Jel, I'm with ya, man. Both fighters were dog-tired (understandably so), but we are talking about the round, not the fight as a whole. Perhaps if those who voted that way could have explained their pick like we do, it would have gone a long way in understanding the mindset. But still, although I don't get it, I respect their decision.
