They did not reconcile, and that was because Joe Frazier carried his anger and resentment of Ali to his grave. Frazier could never forgive Ali for all of the incredibly cruel insults and taunts that he directed at Frazier when the two fighters were rivals. Ali called him “Uncle Tom”, “big ugly gorilla” and a number of other things. What Ali never seemed to realize was how deeply Frazier was wounded by the insults. For Ali, it was just part of the game. And the resentment that Joe held stemmed from the fact that Ali was worshipped by millions of people around the world. Meanwhile, Joe Frazier never got the respect that he felt he deserved and he did have a legitimate beef. Case in point: his adopted city of Philadelphia commissioned a statue of a fake heavyweight champion from a movie while ignoring the existence of the real life champion they had in Joe Frazier. And something that Frazier said in response to a reporter's question reveals just how bitter he remained some 20 years after he and Ali fought for the third and final time. Ali was chosen to light the Olympic flame for the 1996 Summer Games held in Atlanta and Frazier was asked how he felt about his old rival receiving the honor. Without a moments hesitation, he spat out the following reply: “I hope he falls in”.

Ali peak prime that we saw. Ali really would have hit his peak some where between 67 and the early 70s. We were robbed of that. He would have been gaining more experience and still been so youthful. He would have destroyed any heavyweight of any era. Joe Frazier was a great fighter but if Ali and Frazier had met when they were really supposed to. Frazier wouldn't have had a chance against him. Ali's reflexes were elite human capability.

In this fight, he seems to levitate - making hitting him literally like trying to connect with a puff of smoke.

Not only the greatest heavyweight performance of all time but perhaps the greatest performance by any man in a boxing ring - a master of the craft of boxing.

Cleveland Williams was 9 years older and couldn't train properly the entire year because he was in a hospital after a .357 magnum bullet hit him point blank in the stomach then lodged in his right hip. Williams had to undergo four operations in the next seven months. Williams right kidney had to be removed in June 1965. Doctors could not extract the bullet, which had broken his right hip joint and caused partial paralysis of some of the hip's muscles, he also lost over 10 feet of his small intestine, and sustained nerve damage which affected his left leg above the knee and caused it to atrophy as a result. Williams hung on and survived, his weight went down to 150 lbs during his recovery stage. A shadow of himself, 10 feet of intestines and one kidney removed, limping with nerve and hip damages, he was a physical and mental wreck but needed the money. The Texans in the boxing business knew Williams had virtually no chance against Ali. But it was Williams one-shot at the title, so he took it. It was a vomit inducing display of point and shoot for Ali, probably the low point in his heavyweight run. Image if Ali had been gut-shot with .357 magnum and almost died 4 times on the operating table, and was fighting a year or so later. Ignoring any and all facts his fans stand firm in their beliefs that Ali was magical the night he fought Cleveland, striking him like ⚒️-THOR-⚒️ and moving around with the speed of ⚡-FLASH-⚡Some eyewitnesses even swore it looked as if Ali was floating on 🌊-WATER-🌊. He was faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, Ali was Super-🦇-Man.

Joe Frazier did it. Doug Jones came very close. So it is actually an extrapolation.

@@unknowpeople1614 Are you sure. his next fight was title shot against Liston. How can you claim such bizzare things? Nobody is a novice when he is the number 1 contender.

Liston in his prime beats this Ali. People forget but look at how Sonny Liston dismembered cleveland williams when williams was in his prime. Ali is the second best heavyweight of all time

On this particular night, no boxer past or present was beating Ali. I'm not saying he'd knock out everyone but he most certainly would not have lost. Displays of godlike perfections such as this fight make the sweet science unmatched. Rest in peace King.

Williams was shot by police 2 years prior with a 357 magnum ( bullet stillin his body) couldnt train because he was hospitalized with kidney; and nerve damage his intestines and 1kidney removed only a shell of himself took the fight because he needed the pay he only weighted 212 when is normal weight is at 232 lbs

@@joetrieAli lost the best three years of his career as you know, look at Usyk similar height and weight, and he is very good, but he ain't beating Ali as long as he's got a hole in his arse, same goes for Fury and Joshua. At that time the greatest then/ before and since. Imo.
