i also watch football and hockey the same way as i do boxing,with a pizza slice in one hand and a cold beer in the other,but back to topic this fight should be called fight of the farce,

Funny that, I watch fights that are happening the same way I watch past fights: Completely dispassionately and in total silence (except for maybe the odd grumble of disgust when someone does something dumb).

Man, I can't do that the first time. I'm constantly on the edge of my seat, different facial expressions whenever a big punch lands, and I talk to myself when a fighter is fighting incredibly dumb.

Rewatching a fight I tend to sit quietly though.

As a fighter now do you find yourself slipping and blocking punches while watching fights? My friends and family use to think I was nuts, I wouldn't even realize I was doing it.

When I'm watching a boxing match and it starts to get exciting i shout out "IT'S A FIGHT"

Best heavyweight fight ever but IMO there are plenty of fights better at the lower weights

Great, great fight and my favorite heavyweight fight to watch, but I think the first Ali-Frazier fight was the best ever based on the quality of both fighters health and skills at the time. Thats just my personal opinion though.

I completely agree, I thinkmanywho try to advocate the third fight being the best are Ali fans who are biased against the 1st one because their hero loses.

I guess in terms of guys giving all that they had left, it doesn't get any better than this one. But, in terms of sustained action and quality fighting, there have been many, many more fights that were superior....namely their first fight.

IMO one of the greatest (I voted the greatest), everything from the build up to the behind the scenes and preparation. Maybe its because I watched When We were Kings
