When I was in grade school they were calling Ali vs Frazier the biggest fight of all time.  Frazier will always be one of the top legends of the sport.  I still have his autograph that I got as a kid. A lot of people don't know that when Ali was banned from boxing Frazier was quick to give him money.  When Ali called him a gorilla and an uncle tom it drove Frazier nuts.
