Will we ever see another fight like that ever? I was just old enough to remember it (was 8) It still ranks as the ultimate clash between two adversaries I've ever seen, and I mean any sport. None of the eras since have produced anything as dramatic, intense or riveting. For me the greatest fight of all time.

Thrilla in Manilla the ultimate fight...

Personally I think it's very arguable the first Frazier-Ali fight was better, but I understand I'm in the minority there.
No doubt that the Thrilla in Manilla deserves all the praise it gets. Just an unbelievable fight enhanced by the circumstances surrounding it.

It was. The thing that most stuck in my mind was Ali slumped on his stool when Joe didn't come out for round 15. I was an Ali fan mostly but after that I knew Joe was so tough and he became a hero also. Age 8, mind blowing to watch.
