victories, that it demeans Joe Frazier " (QUOTE)Good point. We can't
deny Joe as one of the all time great heavyweights. Historically, he filled a
void when Ali went into exile and played a very important role, where Ali's
return to the ring, was concerned. He and Ali created the "BIG PAYDAY" in
professional sports and without Frazier, Ali's comeback really wouldn't have
been as exciting for the fans. For those of you who suspect a "fix"
regarding Ali/Foreman, I would say you are having a difficult time reconciling
Ali's second coming with reality. George was a powerhouse, but that's all he
was. His persona was great for the heavyweight scene and his destruction of Joe
Frazier, followed by the ultimate showdown, with Ali, places him close to the
top of the heap of outstanding heavyweights.|

idea for your consideration.I would like you to list a series of fights for Joe
Frazeir,including all heavyweights from Ali on. Including the guys you say he
dodged.I mean, I would like to hear your blow by blow on
Norton,Shavers,Holmes,ect.|

am forced to give Ali the edge over Frazier,against my will. I know he won the
last fight.What you guys are missing is the sociological Impact.Ali proved to
most of our nation that "fighting those Vietcong was wrong" He beat Frazier in
Manilla by a width of a hair.C'mon Paul,give him that!|

might be fun doing that if we stuck to debating the skills of 'make believe'
fights between Frazier and others. The fun part would be that we probably all
know enough about Frazier that we can guess how he'd perform, but a little
research would be needed (by me, at least) to be certain about the others. I'm
going away for Christmas, so maybe in the New Year. RS - I am a little confused.
Am I the 'P' you refer to ? I am uncertain whether I am or not, but let me
assure you that I always give my correct name, etc, when I post. I'm sure that I
haven't encountered you on another site. Cheers. |

stick to boxing. Regarding the statement "Ali proved to most of our nation
that fighting those vietcong was wrong." Is not true. And in fact, during the
Viet Nam war Ali was no wise elder statesman. Ali declared at the time that he
would not fight in any war, unless he was directed to by Elijah Muhammad. Using
Ali's logic from 1967, if the Twin Towers were destroyed in 1967 by Al Qaeda,
and there was a war declared against Al Qaeda by the United States; Ali would
not fight in the war unless directed to by Elijah Muhammad. It was not Ali who
"proved" to most of the nation that fighting the vietcong was wrong. All Ali
proved was that he was either a loyal disciple of Elijah Muhammad, or that he
was a duped puppet for Elijah. Personally, I think Ali was a duped puppet for
Elijah.Ali was managed by Herbet Muhammad, son of Elijah. At the end
of Ali's career he was short on money and in bad health. You may say that Ali
could have quit boxing sooner, and that it was his own choice to continue, true.
But if Herbert the son of Elijah cared so much about Ali; then Herbert should
