Had Ali fought like Moore wanted him to

now I got Ali winning the 9th & Frazier winning the 10th

Ali winning 11th & Frazier winning the 12th

Ali's does nothing for the first 2 minutes of the 12th then trys to steal the round with some fast flurrys and his shuffles, but if you closely you can see very few land while Fraziers gets in some left hook and a good solid right

 

I think Ali had underrated power but he would not have been better served trying to be a puncher.

 

So we all know that Ali clearly won the first 2 rounds but as you say yourself a few minutes is meaningless the whole fight tells the tale so I've shown from the 3rd round onwards .

And if you have gone through the effort of watching it you see that Ali was extremely negative and it wasn't easy.

I had Frazier winning

Round 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Total


Frazier - 9 9 10 10 10 9 10 10 9 10 9 10 - 115

Ali - 10 10 9 9 9 10 9 9 10 9 10 9 - 113

 

Now make a poll, and see if anyone after watching the whole fight agrees with you.

Like I said, watching live, virtually everyone (nearly all Ali fans) were immediately elated as they knew who won.

Make the poll.

 

It would have been interesting. Moore had developed his own style after many years and had a unique outlook. Old arch had a lot of tricks that complemented the natural assets and individual needs Archie had. How are we to know Archie did not want to enhance what Ali already had rather than force him into being a more conventional fighter or a clone of himself? If you crossed Archie with Ali you might have a heavyweight who fought like Floyd Mayweather!
