    Rumble in the jungle meant more, and was Alis one of if not the biggest win of Ali's career.

        The first man george couldn't hurt. Its a miracle Ali didn't have organ failure after he took all those body shots.

          Tell me about it, George is like a fucking tree!! Man could punch, Ali could just work out opponents.

            Crazy fight. Even when I watch it now it makes no sense how Ali could roll all of Georges shots and avoid most of them and take the ones that landed. Ali's punching power is also underrated George had a ****in chin on him.

                Rumble was like Ali reminding critics as being in the upper echelons of his ATG status(imo)...............performance for the ages...........while thrilla was the finale of a bitter(best imo) rivalry.............where ali and Frazier just let it all hang out..........more drama in thrilla.....i vote thrilla

                  I know you don't like him but Mayweather can also read fights and work out oppoents very well, a lil bit like Ali, he just knew how to beat guys. Though as they said, if they never pulled Frazier after the 14th, Ali woulda quit. man, i think i might watch it again!!!!!!

                    Fighters say a lot of crazy things in the heat of battle. Ali would have carried on. He was comfortably ahead on the cards, and Frazier was no more than a punching bag at the point of stoppage, providing very little in return.

                      Thrilla:

                      The Thrilla in Manila is the third and final famous boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier for the Heavyweight Boxing Championship of the World, fought at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines on October 1, 1975.

                      The bout is often ranked as one of the greatest fights of 20th century boxing, and is the climax to the bitter rivalry between Ali and Frazier over who was the legitimate Heavyweight Champion.

                      Rumble:

                      The Rumble in the Jungle was a historic boxing event that took place on 30 October 1974, in the Mai 20 Stadium in Kinshasa, Zaire (now ********ic Republic of the Congo). It pitted then world Heavyweight champion George Foreman against former world champion and challenger Muhammad Ali.

                      The event was one of Don King's first ventures as a professional boxing promoter. He managed to get both Ali and Foreman to sign separate contracts saying they would fight for him if he could get $5 million to be their pay
                      Manila x 10000000

                      Zaire is more famous than good as Ali basically just sonned Foreman, letting him rain shots and the beating his ass in spurts. Ali-Frazier was two-way hell and arguably the best fight ever.
