Frazier was in a SPECIAL mental space that night. He was literally having fun in there, he was such a great fighter for those 45 minutes.

That's why I love that fight so much. You can see Frazier enjoying himself. I've seen thousands of fights but I've rarely seen somebody so happy and yet so ferocious at the same time. He truly loved his job that night.

From the 1974 BBC Michael Parkinson interview with Ali:

Michael: "Has anyone ever talked back to you in the ring?"

Ali: "Only one person ever talked back was Frasier. If you remember from the first fight. I hit Frasier with everything, the man took a terrible beating. I kept hitting and he kept coming, I said, "You must be crazy!" and he says, "That's right I'm crazy!" and kept coming.

That from the youtube video I posted at the end of the article. It cracks me up everytime I see it.
