Ali-Frazier is still the best ever.Comment

Yup it is.Comment

The hype surrounding Pacquiao-Marquez I/II/III/IV, still can't compare to the hype surrounding Ali-Frazier I and III.
It's closer and both will live on forever, but EVERYONE....EVERYONE out there knows about Ali-Frazier. I still couldn't say the random sports fan on the street would know about Pacquiao-Marquez, though a ton still would obviously.Comment

by far......
The rivalry is surreal, the talented but less athletic, less known fighter against the stronger,faster more famous ATG.Yet the lesser known fighter doesn't concede defeat or accept the odds that are stacked against him despite getting robbed and dropped 5 times. Just to comeback at the very end of the rivalry to viciously knock out his arch nemesis which no one thought he could do. It's some Cinderella shit
I'd say
Barrera Morales comes second with Gatti Ward 3rd.
Honorable mentions go to
Vazquez - Marquez
Chacon - Olivares
Ali - Frazier (overrated IMO)
Bowe - Holyfield
Gonzalez - Carbajal
Duran - Dejesus
the history romanticizers will disagree and say some sorry ass rivalry like
Langford - Wills because they fought over 20 times,or
Nelson vs Gans
are the bestComment

......Not sure if you're being serious or not......
The fights lived up to it, the 2nd is the forgotten fight because Ali controlled much of the fight and the other two were amazing. Much like the third Pac-JMM fight will be the forgotten one eventually.
Ali's charismatic personality also added to the rivalry.
As much hype as Pacquiao-Marquez has, it still couldn't compare to the levels of Ali-Frazier I and III.Comment

In terms of only the boxing it well could be Pacquiao vs Marquez or Barerra vs Morales.
However if you include its social magnitude then Frazier vs Ali wins.Comment
