What if Frazier and Ali fought in the 60s?

What if the earth where a cube instead of a sphere?

Global warming would go away?

It wouldn't exist, but cubical warming could...

What if Frazier and Ali had their first fight in the mid to late 60s? This, of course, assumes Ali was never exiled.

Frazier probably would have knocked him out.

ali wins by decision or late stoppage , ali lost something in exile his foot speed and ability to slip punches slightly diminished and in boxing just a fraction of loss in reflexes makes a big difference.

Ali was never as good at any point in his career as he was at the time of the FOTC.

No chance in hell. Ali's chin was every bit as stout in the 60s as it was in his later career.

His speed and reflexes were far better in the 60s than in the 70s. That's not even debatable. Whatever he had gained in experience is negated by what he lost physically. Ali's best was 65-67, not 71.

Awwwww. Is this because I disrespected Mike Tyson?


Explain to me how in the world 1971 Ali is superior to 1967 Ali.

Otherwise, I'll conclude that you "have no idea about anything pertaining to boxing".

No, it's because everything you claim is based on no good reasons.

Have you seen the FOTC or the other 2 fights with Joe Frazier, or his fight with George Foreman? Ali is defined by his career post exile, but I wouldn't expect you to see the significance of that.

So... because his most historically-significant fights took place post-exile, that necessarily means that he was a better fighter post-exile. Brilliant logic.

I'm doubting that you've ever even watched Ali's performances against Williams, Terrell, Folley, Chuvalo, or London. If you had, you'd know that 60s Ali is superior to 70s Ali in just about every category. Pretty much every credible boxing historian writes that Ali's peak was basically between Liston and Folley. But I'm sure you know better.

Joe wins on the cards.
