    Ali vs. Frazier II, billed as Super Fight II, was the second of three bouts between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Ali would come out on top in the rematch with a unanimous decision victory.
    Unlike the first and third bouts, which were 15-rounders for the World Heavyweight Championship, the second fight was a 12-rounder for the North American Boxing Federation heavyweight title.
    Ali, the No. 1 contender, was out to avenge his 1971 loss to Frazier and secure a shot at World Heavyweight Champion George Foreman, who had dethroned Frazier the previous January.
    Frazier, the No. 2 contender, wanted a chance to regain the championship and avenge his 1973 defeat to Foreman, the sole blemish on his record.
    On January 23, Ali and Frazier visited ABC studios in New York City to review their first fight with commentator Howard Cosell for ABC's Wide World of Sports, which would air two days before their rematch. This would result in the infamous studio brawl that resulted in both fighters being fined $5,000 by the New York State Athletic Commission.

    Frazier's style along with Norton's style was most difficult for Ali to fight against. Foreman's style was able to handle Frazier and Norton better. Ali admitted Foreman hit hard and dangerous but if he could get Foreman tired out by throwing punches he could counter attack Foreman. Getting Foreman to have to go longer than he was used to fighting his opponents was the key to beating him.

      Not taking anything away from Spinks, Holmes and Berbick wins like Dempsey, Louis, Marciano, Liston, Moore, Patterson, Chuvalo, Norton, Lyle, Young, Shavers, Cooney, Etc they were great fighters too but Ali with early stages of his Parkinson's along with years of body and brain damage fighting was clearly a shadow of the fighter he was when he fought Frazier, Second Fight Against Norton, Foreman and even Lyle. Thrilla In Manilla was the last of the classic Ali we know. It also helped Holmes being a sparring partner of Ali. This is why I believe Frazier would have also had a difficult battle beating Norton if both fought because Norton was also his sparring partner.

I watched the fight of the century again yesterday for the umpteenth time where Ali won rounds one, two, three, four, five, nine, ten and fourteen and Frazier all the other rounds. All these fights followed the same pattern - Frazier receiving the far greater punishment with both eyes closing in all three fights. Frazier was a gallant fighter but Ali and Foreman both had his number.

      Unfortunately a lot of Ali's fights weren't classics, and ended up being ali taking a massive amount of head trauma for 12 rounds while still winning on the scorecards with softer punches by which he would walk away with a unanimous decision. Ali was an innovator but so was niccolino, probably moreso and no one claims he was the greatest of all time.

Imagine what his career would have been like in boxing and what we missed by him being robbed of his prime. But at the same time all of what happened sort of culminated in his overall greatness because of all the things he did outside the ring as well but man, it’s a damn shame we never got to see it.

    In my eyes Ali had good combination & got more points from the begining to end. But i dont know why Frazier won at the end. I guess Ali was not in a good position due to his new religion, not join army & talk for the rights of black people. So on that time it was much corrupt system too. But anyway Ali showed that we should keep going even if everyone is against you. And he beat Frazier 2 times after that. Respect! 🙏🏼

      Ali's movement was never the same post-ban. Before that his jerky offence-defensive movement and feints were uncanny where he leaned back and forth from the waist while on his toes with perfect balance: putting him in position to attack opponents and get his head out of the way, even by a whisker (especially against Liston, Terrell and Williams). Great as Frazier was, and despite Ali's vulnerability to a fast left hook; the Ali of 1964 - 67 would have given Frazier nightmares and without having to prove his durability to the degree he had to post-ban.

      Though Ali clearly had the decision, Frazier made Ali adjust his approach a couple times during the fight. There fight had some back and forth and Ali had to adjust throughout to regain advantage. Not so much overall drama as the other Ali-Frazier fights, but a very good fight between two excellent heavyweights.

    Frazier was born for one night of greatness, to win the fight of the century. Ali's was born to be the fighter of the century and dominate two great era's of heavyweight boxing - Smokin' Joe couldn't. Their first fight changed boxing and brought riches to the sport thus bringing a new breed of athletic fighter. Ali could match them for size and top them for talent; Foreman, Norton, Lyle, Blue Lewis, Mac Foster, Henry Clark, and Jose Luiz Garcia who KO'd Norton their first fight (Ken revenged before his Ali trilogy). While smaller Frazier lost too much in his first Ali and Foreman fights, and had no good match on the horizon with a dangerous Ernie Shavers, a slick Jimmy Young an upcoming Larry Holmes and Leon Spinks. Joe and Norton both fought for Eddie Futch an were too dangerous for each other though I think Frazier would've stopped him, but others. All fighters saluted Ali for making their sport the historic during their careers, all except for Frazier - They're in boxing heaven right now talking crap and trading blows with nothing but kicking that ass for a reward.

    They both look well past their prime in this one. Ali can still run away, lean on Frazier, and defend with good fitness but even in his prime he had no power and for this fight it looked further diminished. Joe looks worse in every way than the previous fight.
    I'm still trying to find the fights where Ali was great let alone "The greatest". His nickname should have been "the heavy bag" because his greatest ability is taking punches without falling down.
