i just finished watching it on tv and i always thought frazier was coming on strong towards the end but i didnt realise that ali didnt want to come out in the 15th and frazier did. in my opinion i give that fight to frazier. he would of been the only man to beat ali twice.

C'mon, now. Ali really, really punished Joe in that 14th round...Joe would have been completely destroyed in the 15th.

Joe may have been seriously injured.
As far as being the only man to beat ali twice ken norton did he just did not get the nod from the third blind mice judging the third fight

But Ali won, by TKO. Frazier could no longer see and Ali was ahead on the scorecards, he'd just been dominated in the 14th due to his lack of eyesight.
All Ali would need to do is avoid looping, desperate hooks from a tired and blind fighter. He has the tenacity to do that.
Futch did the right thing, and unfortunately Joe never really forgave him.

Or, does Ali grin and bear it, come out for the 15th and win a decision?Last edited by Anthony342; 10-10-2012, 12:34 AM.

He would've, but Ali didn't seem to want to continue. So, do you think if Futch doesn't stop the fight that Ali quits on his stool or that maybe Dundee stops it for Ali, giving Frazier the win?

I think Futch even said in the past that he saw two of his fighters die in the ring. Is that true?
