The bout is often ranked as one of the greatest fights of 20th century boxing, and is the climax to the bitter rivalry between Ali and Frazier over who was the legitimate Heavyweight Champion
ESPN's SportsCentury ranked the fight as the fifth greatest sporting event of all time in 1999.
This show was really good, mostly from Joe Frazier's point of view, but it incorporates he and Ali's rivalry and their fights against each other and frazier losing to George Foreman "Down goes Frazier!" to Ali beating Foreman by knockout "Rope a Dope"
This was a really good show, anyone else see it or remember/know much about the original fight?
