Thrilla in Manila vs Rumble in the Jungle???

[J.R]

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.

I know, and both guys gave everything, to the point where Ali collapsed. fuck man they killed each other in there.I wish the Klits or other heavies showed that heart nowadays. Thats what gets to me about the Klithuggers, i mean they are good fighters in their own respect but to class them as greats when people like Frazier, Ali, Liston, Foreman, Dempsey have been and done it.

Frazier Ali will always trump Foreman Ali

The Thrilla in Manila was a much better fight than the Rumble in the Jungle. Rumble was an ugly, awkward sort of fight with Ali on the ropes covering, leaning away and countering, and Foreman dropping bombs that rarely connected cleanly. It is still a significant fight historically because it was Ali coming back as an underdog at 32 and defeating the younger Foreman. But the Thrilla was a war with lots of clean exchanging and excitment.

Thrilla would be the one that gets my vote also...

MY vote goes to "Thrilla", and I am biased. Just imagine a 15 year old watching his first boxing fight, LIVE!!!

The "Rumble" was a stage were we all saw a genius at work, first time we've heard of the phrase "Rope-A-Dope". Who would have thunk that Ali will fight that way???

Thrilla in Manila, because they were trying to kill each other.

Fuck me sideways i knew the Thrila was better but i didn't realise it'd win by a landslide.

1. Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo I
2. Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier III
3. (tie) Archie Moore-Yvon Durelle I & Matthew Saad Muhammad-Marvin Johnson I


Somewhere WAY below: Muhammad Ali-George Foreman

I voted neither and there was no way I was going to vote for the thrilla in manilla as it is without question the most overrated fight of all time,Heck the whole Ali-frazier trilogy is overrated

It really wasn't as competitive as it is made out to be,I gave frazier just five rounds of that fight even though Ali practically handed him the oppurtunity to win that fight

i watched that documentary too and it kinda make you feel angry at ali...

Of course you would,That was the whole point of the documentary.I could make a documentary on Joe frazier using actual facts and not hushed over myths and make you despise the man within an instant

these documentaries are very good at fooling ignorant sheep into beliving things that aren't true

See the post below me

Mate Ali was a ****, i know it was promoting the fight but Jeez he got personal, and rascist and Frazier's family needed protection.

As opposed to Frazier who never did? but you never saw that because it wasn't included on the documentary

Add to the fact that the words "cut my gloves off" never even came out of Ali's mouth.

Joe Frazier doesn't even claim it as a fact merely pointing out that a friend of his(who was apparently close to Ali's corner) claimed he heard him say those words.

There is actually more evidence to suggest Frazier quit in his corner
