Ali vs. Frazier 1,2, or 3?

[redxl7]

Arguably the greatest trilogy of fights in boxing history are the Ali-Frazier fights, exciting, grueling fights between two of boxings greatest champions. So my question is, which of the three do you believe to be the best and why?

Personally I'll have to go with the first one, Ali had a bit of ring-rust from being gone for those three years, but I think they were in the best shape in the first fight and were much less eroded than in the latter two.

I like the third one the most. Both guys gave it everything they had and were on the brink of death. They were both past their primes but it showed how much they wanted to win.

Yeah good point about the third.....almost didn't recgonize you without Jake Lamotta!

thrilla in manilla for me as it just showed both men's heart and courage more than the other two

[The Raging Bull]

Gotta be the third fight. It's my favourite fight of all time!

They showed true heart and that they were deserving champions i this fight.

I like the first and third fight, because you witness Ali getting an awesome pounding. Hehe. Just Kidding.

My fav is the first one. Frazier shutting Ali up was priceless.

The first one was easily my favourite between them.

First is the best, hands down. The third was an exciting but sloppy fight where neither man was as sharp as he had once been.
