    I've always felt TIM a bit overrated. Very dramatic but overrated.

    Super fight 1 is up there w Johnson - Jeffries, Louis - Schmeling 2 and the Dempsey - Tunney rematch as the biggest fights in boxing history. Frazier was in his prime but already blind in one eye. Ali fought his most courageous fight as he had no business being in the ring w that Frazier so soon in his comeback. Few remember that his Quarry comeback fight was no test as Gerry got cut so early

    I don't think any real fight fan think the Thrila was actually better then FOTC.My thoughts are The Thrila is just closer in time than FOTC. And the way Thrila ended with Ali just teeing off on Frazier. Its hard to forget.
