March 8, 1971..."The Fight"...MSG...Smokin' Joe fought the fight of his life, one of the all time great showings, a night for a career to be built on...and Ali showed for the first of too many times what A TOUGH MAMMA JAMMA he really was...one of the few fights ever that the WORLD actually, really, watched...

One of the best fights ever, Ali and Frazier really put it all out there on the line and didn't hold anything back.
Such a great great fight. -
I didn't even realize it.
It was a great fight and, despite the official result, I scored the fight for Ali.Comment

That fight makes MOST of the top heavyweight fights of the last 20 years look like pillow fights...look at the HELLACIOUS shots Ali took in the 11th without falling...that fight would have most likely been stopped today...and yet he took it, came back from it, went 15 ROUNDS...when people pay money to see professional boxing they pay to see the will and skill and drive and heart of Ali and Joe frazier, March 8, 1971...Comment
