Ali vs Frazier

These two legends would meet at Madison Square Garden in NYC.  Called the "Fight of the Century" by the media, a scheduled 15 round fight for the  Heavyweight championship of the world,.  Ali was in just his 3rd fight after 2 and 1/2 year absence due to being stripped of the title for refusing  induction into the US Army.

Joe Frazier would win a unanimous 15 round decision to become the new champion.  This was the first  of 3 fights between Ali & Frazier, the "Super Fight II" 1974 and "Thrilla in Manilla" in 1975.  Ali would win both of those bouts.
