Nonesense. Ali fought awesomely in that first fight. And Joe fought fantastically in the Thrilla in Manilla. When two great fighters fight, on one night boxer A's strengths will prevail. But on another night, Boxer's B's strenths might prevail.

That's not to say that one of Ali's relative weaknesses wasn't his defense to a great left hook. But that fact doesn't mean he was "exposed" in that fight.

And the second and third fights with Frazier, the very same fighter who was allegedly exposed, managed to stay away from the left hook.

Ali punished Joe severely in their first fight, even in a losing effort, just as Frazier severely punished Ali in his losing effort in Manilla.
