Just this Saturday I saw a documentary about the third and final fight with Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. It's from Joe Frazier's perspective and you see footage of there time in the Philippines and of both Joe Frazier's and Muhammad Ali's fights before they fought each other. During this whole documentary you see how Joe Frazier's a great fighter and how he got to be Heavyweight Champion of the World. You also see how the whole country liked Muhammad Ali more than Joe Frazier and we see how Ali is more successful. Throughout this whole documentary I saw the real Muhammad Ali. I saw how he criticized Joe Frazier and how he basically mad his life a living hell for him. Through all the fights I watched with Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier I saw that Ali was the better fighter in the second fight. But Frazier was the better fighter in the first and third fight against Ali. During the third fight Frazier was hurt throughout the fight and was blinded by the 15th round. He wanted it more than Ali though, and even though he lost the second and third fight he was still the best fighter out of the both of them for his courage and his will to fight with a man that did nothing but criticize him. Ali said to Frazier's son at the end of the fight that he was sorry about all he has put his family through. But Frazier didn't except the apology because he thought Ali should have been a man and say it to his face.
