    Frazier was past his own prime after 71 and years later Ali defeated him a style that was not meant to go that long .

    Many think ali didn't even win all those fights and im one. bc I actually count body shots to and clean punching.

    Ali was not saved by the bell either right against Cooper in his 19th fight ? lol


    see this is the problem with posters like you ,they LIKE to revise things to have a stance on another fighter.


    The hard truth is AJ would never have struggled at any 180 pounder nor a come forward head one of 5'11.

    AJ has a far tougher resume then ali even in the 23 fight distance until his recent loss.

    The thread itself is ****** bc AJ can still dominate the era which he most likely will despite the dumb detractions on him when Wilder took an L to 50% Fury where were you ? Probably defending the decision right ? lol.


    I don't expect much from any wilder fan and you're definatley included so don't bother responding back im not returning to feed the dumbness on this one.
    Joe Frazier was 27 years old and in his prime in '71. He was the undefeated heavyweight champion who had actually been active unlike Ali who'd only recently comeback after losing 3 years in his prime.

    And yeah, Cooper rocked Ali, so what?

    He got up and stopped him, like I said.

    Frazier got dominated & destroyed by George Foreman, before Ali embarrassed him.

    Even Evander Holyfield didn't beat Foreman as bad as a post prime Ali did 20 years later

    Lot's of historically great fighters have trouble early in their careers.

    Look at Mayweather against Emmanuel Augustus.

    Bernard Hopkins lost his first career fight, so?

    Manny Pacquiao lost to a guy named Rustics Torrecampo in his 14th fight, so?

    And Muhammad Ali wouldn't have gotten dominated by the Pillsbury Doughboy in Andy Ruiz, a guy who lost to Joseph Parker.

    Muhammad Ali would've never let a 41 year old Vladimir Klitchschko push him to the limit.

    Most importantly, he would've never a scammer like Eddie Hearn lead him around like a lost puppy away from any real challenges .

    Definitely not in his prime.

    And how do you not think Ali won the 3rd fight?

    Joe Frazier quit on his stoop

    Did you even watch the "Thrilla in Manilla?"

    Nobody question's whether or not Frazier won the first fight. It's not even controversial.

      and not just one paper either:

      here's another story in the telegraph - a reputable and one of the most popular newspapers in england:

      news link

      and again same pic:




      I said it from the start, they hyped him too much and put too much pressure on him, you could see it on his face before the bell was rung in the ruiz fight, out of his comfort zone without his adoring and screaming fans....the british press and fans ruin their own fighters and then discard them like trash when the honeymoon period is over
      LMAO the daily fail and the telegraph are not reputable, they are are garbage news paper. Anyone who compared AJ to Ali is a moron, stop trying to put all British fans in the same boat

        The comparison was the picture (which showed great resemblance to be fair). I don’t think there was anyone whoever compared Ali and AJ style wise? If they did then clearly they have no idea what there watching as they are completely different. AJ may yet go on to eclipse him , who knows
