    Very good ref. I bet people always asked him about Ali-Frazier 1.

    Had a chance last year to meet Arthur and his son at fights in foxwoods. What true gentleman they both were. they truly seemd to appreciate being recognized and acknowledged. Jr. was very doting on his Dad, two very classy guys...

    I recall reading Ring magazine shortly after 1971 Ali-Frazier fight,and Mercante said that he had a very definite idea which guy would win the rematch,but he was keeping it to himself. I wonder which one he selected.
