Frazier was such a warrior. The shorter guy in most fights but fought his way out.

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

Not this time.

[@shaynelahmed6323]

Foreman was formidable. Amazing guy.. good people.

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

This was three months before the fight.

[@unknownjohnson6137]

I like the respect between the two - Just the way brave warriors should behave. Ali started something different - It was funny and suited him at the time. Ali also did the talking without vulgarities. Now, it’s just useless Boxers talking rubbish, trying to emulate Ali!!

Warriors

[@NadeemHayek]

Strange how Frazier is Ali’s strongest opponents and gave him hell yet he’s probably Forman’s easiest opponents lol

[@Gordon-hx8cp]

That's because you know nothing about boxing

[@m-cra1370]

Don king fixed the rumble in the jungle for ali, foreman was drugged watch the full fight footage

Styles make fights

​@@m-cra1370 Nah, Ali won fair and square, Foreman admitted he was bullshitting.

[@m-cra1370]

@@quarantinejet2312 foreman knew it would be lame as hell and inspire the publics dislike of him if he were to take away a sick Ali’s best win. Foreman covering for ali shows his character as a man.

[@MichaelSimmons.]

George looked great that night. Was promised once again a second shot at Ali. And once again, Ali's camp backed out. Ali got whipped by Norton in Yankee stadium, but the judges gave him the decision. One of the most disgusting decisions I ever saw in boxing.

[@iamtman1]

Wrong on both counts Venom, but keep trying lol.

[@shaynelahmed6323]

@@iamtman1 true. Thanks!

[@C45-w4o]

@@iamtman1 go watch all 3 Norton vs Ali fights and I guarantee you, you will change your mind. You could say he Ali should've lost all 3 but in my opinion I think he may have done enough in the second fight. But other than that he should've lost all 3

[@iamtman1]

I saw all 3 fights multiple times. Fight 1 Norton , fight 2 ali 7-5 in rounds, and fight 3 Ali 8-6-1 . I have no doubt Ali won 2 of the 3.

[@C45-w4o]

@@iamtman1 Ali did not win that last fight by any stretch of the imagination. Norton was controlling Ali nearly the whole fight, wobbling Ali with overhand rights all night. Even Angelo Dundee was telling him "you're blowing it Ali". Everyone in that stadium knew Norton was robbed.

[@azabiahiphop]

Frazier looked scared ..damn what a fault

[@tlig]

Well, that man had knocked him down six times the previous time they fought.

[@tedvincent2409]

Frazier did not look scared.

[@johntoomey357]

Frazier wasn't scared he was confident he could beat Foreman Joe was wrong they were and are both legends

[@darrelltregear756]

Frazier did look like he had a lot of doubts in mind I really think he knew he was going to be beaten .

[@billking1751]

Where was that shown. Plus if he was scared, he wouldn't taken the fight. You have top fighters these days, that go OUT of their way to fight the other top fighter. These days they go out of their way, to cheat the fans out of what they really want to see.
