The Thrilla in Manilla.`

[Alfie B]

Does anyone else out there remember Ali, Frazier the third? I just watched a documentary about it. What a brutal fight. That's when boxing was boxing. Ali Frazier, Foreman and Norton. O, did I leave out Hagler, Hearns and Duran in the lighter weight classes. Were those not the days?
Comments anyone, I'm curious.

Oh yeaaa. Those were the glory days. And, all these great fights were broadcast on Sat afternoon free TV. These were 15 round affairs too. Sugar Ray Leonard was a champions Champion. Ali was never in shape but picked a few minutes each fight to destroy his opponents. There were great second level heavyweights as well. Foreman was the best but he also was always out of shape. Smoking Joe deserves a mention as the greatest heavyweight ever imo.
