Ali/Frazier was 40 years ago today

agree

the thrilla was more about how brave the two of them were, it was more of an epic war, but the first fight was a far better example of both men illustrating their respective strengths

 

wouldn't you say bravery was a great strength of both men?

 

yes, but it was one of MANY strengths on display in the first fight

the first fight had far more in the way of skills and crisp action from two guys who were far younger (in boxing years) and closer to their best

the third fight is one of the most amazing displays of guts ever seen in any sport, but it's a lesser BOXING MATCH, in my opinion

 

A lesser boxing match but greater show of bravery by both men.

Both fights are great for different reasons.

 

Wrong

 

and where did I say anything different than that?

 

He had a "senior moment"

 

:atu:

me: (basically) they are both awesome fights... the first one is a better boxing match, the second is a better war

musze: no, you are wrong. they are both great for different reasons.
