Ali-Frazier or Holyfield-Bowe?

[Scott9945]

I actually liked the fight scott cuz I know when smoke landed he hit hard n i'l openly admit im a sadist when I comes to entertainment but if u scored the fight u probly admit that it wasn't near a close fight. it was a huge historical event n a huge worldwide story but as fights go, a good action fight but imo its kinda like Castillo corrales 2 vs their first fight, when compared to the thrilla. of course I respect your opinion bruh, I can tell by your posts that u r a real fight fan. plus u got those cool avatar pix. hahaha. my old ass don't even know how to put them things on

Their first fight was highly competitive until Joe hurt Ali badly in the 11th and pulled away in the fight. As far as raw action goes, the Manila fight may have been better, but the quality of the two fighters was lower than the first one. But these are just individual opinions and comparing them respectfully is what makes this forum worthwhile. And I enjoy reading your posts too.

id first think that this was a silly question but thinkin it over, it bring up some good points. the first frazer ali fight wasn't that good other than if u wanna see ali really get beat up and belive me, he got beat up. if u listen to don dunphy call it, u think it was close but it wasn't close. smoke got dat ass. if u real about it, u know he frazer smoked ali clean. second fight too much grappling not enuf fightin kinda like watchin the Celtics back in the day, slowin the game down n winning in a boring fashion. third fight beats any in either trilogy n u all know why. as for the 3rd holybowe fight, that hook landed on bowe made the fight. when he got up and holy didn't dig in, I was thinkin fix. u know?

Fix? Nah, I heard it was Hepatitis B, Holy just ran out of gas and couldn't finish Bowe.

Ali-Frazier wins for me. Love both trilogies, but in AF you have 2 ATG HW's going toe-to-toe. Plus you had two great characters, it became bigger then boxing, each man represented a perspective, a social choice.

2 isnt a bad fight as people sometimes say. Its just 1 and 3 are great fights, FOTY type fights. 3 is the greatest HW fight ever - even now.

Ali/Frazier, by a smidge.

thing about holy bow 3, I heard later in the hbo legendary nights thing that holyfield had hepatitis but during that fight, I saw how bowe was on ***** street n thinkin holy will finish him now but then it looked like evander went up to him and tried not to hit him n I figured right there the fight was fixed n bowe would win n when he did well u know boxing. I look at frazier ali 1 ali wins maybe 5 rounds, its entertaining bcuz ali lands punches in every round but he gets a beating n the fascinating thing about that trilogy, imo, smoke put even more of a whuppin on ali in the thrilla, then suddenly like round 12 he cant see ali no more n seems to b relying on alis punches landing on him just to see what direction to move toward ali n man did he start eatin punches
