Thrilla in Manila on HBO

Great show

Ali was a bigger piece of shit than I thought he was and I already despise him.

I dont blame Frazier for being bitter after all these years adn taking satisfaction in Alis current condition


Frazier destroyed him in that 1st fight and basically won the last fight but his corner stopped it just before Ali was ready to quit.

Ferdie Pacheci is an idiot, and it was interesting to watch Frazier watching the fight.

Terrific documentary

Pacheco

NOBODY ELSE WATCHED THIS?

i did

nc1capper, you could make any fight seem great i guess if you give it the "documentary treatment" but I dont think we will ever see a fight that big because boxing will never be that big again. To boxing fans it will be but to the general public it wont because there is no free TV and all that stuff.

Did you guys think Frazier should "let it go" ?

I honestly think he is kind of justified to still feel the way he feels.

The answering machine message was a bit much but....

Frazier beat Ali in the third fight with one eye.  if not for eddie futch the thrilla in manilla would have went smokin joes way.  frazier was all heart.  clay was all talk.  of course clay is one of the greatest, but smokin joe outclassed him in the categories of heart and determination therefore on my all time pound 4 pound list frazier will always be ahead of clay...those 3 fights make boxing today look like glorified sparring sessions.....man i would have killed to watch leonard, hearns, ali, frazier, duran.......now a days the best pound 4 pound fighter is a loudmouth who retired well before his time was up.........

Im 37...i loved Hagler back in the 80's , Hearns Leonard, etc..I do not remember Frazier, Ali...

Yep, they showed all of that. He gave him $ and a lot of other things and then Ali came back and was a total piece of shit towards him
