    Their second fight was pretty good when looked at in isolation. Ali was going through his best seventies phase while Frazier would still have beaten any other heavy around at that time apart from Muhammad and George Foreman. The only reason it's virtually ignored is because fights I & III were so great.

    It isn't.

    Hence the tag Fight Of The Century.

    You know, the hundred years between 1900, and 2000.
