Well you have Floyd, who like Ali was the undisputed (P4P) champion coming back from a long layoff(granted not as long as Ali's), while Manny like Frazier was knocking everyone out while the former champ was away to become the new champ. I think this has the makings of being one of the greatest fights in the history of boxing. I think Manny will bring the best out of Floyd as well. Can't wait to see if Floyd still has it against Marquez. This is an exciting time to be a boxing fan. Its about to be our time again fellas.

last time i heard, Ali never ducked anybody.....i never heard him challenging middleweights to fight at heavyweight

Two ATG legendary fighters facing each other at their primes, nothing better than that.

This is more like Leonard vs Duran to me than Ali vs Frazier

Bowe Holyfield was this generations Ali Frazier

Holyfield was no Frazier and Bowe damn sure wasn't on the level of Ali. I do agree that this would probably be compared to Leonard/Duran as well.

Whitaker and Chavez were pretty much the 1 and 2 ranked p4p boxers at the time.
