    It doesn't need to be for all-out excitement. Just your personal favs from the career of Ali.

    Probably the old cliche Frazier 1 .

    Ali never fought someone who hated him like Frazier and you could see it in the fight. Frazier tried to hurt Ali, not just beat him.

    Cleveland Williams. Destruction.

    Brian London just because of the SPEED he displayed when finishing him

    George Foreman, I wish I could go back in time to see this one live.

    Man, Ali was a bad mother...

    I think the Foreman fight is lacking unless you watch alot of the buildup for the fight.

    Oh yeah? I like it cause I thought Ali fought brilliantly. From the combos he set up, the "rope a dope", the determination he had, and of course the KO.

    Sure it was a good fight, I didn't mean to imply it wasn't.

    But when you get to see some of the buildup- being reminded of how scary Foreman was, Cossell basically reading Alis eulogy before the fight, watching Ali sparring Holmes and practicing EXACTLY what he did in the ring against Foreman. I'd love to have seen the buildup before I saw the fight.

    Some of my choices

    Liston 1
    Chuvalo 1
    Williams
    Foley
    Quarry 2
    Norton 2
    Frazier 2
    Foreman
    Frazier 3

    Even though he lost,I enjoy the FOTC too. Muhammad went down with class.

    It was only the speed of Ali's punches that were enabling London to stay upright as long as he did !
    Yes........Ali WAS a bad mother :good
