Watching this fight and knowing the magnitude I could see where the REF let it go on but there were a couple of times in the 15th that this fight could have been stopped and awarded to Frazier by TKO......If it was what would your reaction be....but watch it again

My reaction would be that Frazier is truly the man in the division and that nobody in the division can beat him. He would build a sense of invincibility. Assuming everything happens the same that it did after this fight; then this accomplishment would be greater than a UD. He would be one of two fighters to stop Ali. The only fighter to stop a young and a near prime Ali.

No, what I ment to say is there were times Ali was hurt do you think a stoppage could be justified

I though Ali was more hurt in the 11th round than he was in the 15th.

Ali was hurt and very tired, but also holding on. But Joe was tired too, and i don't think Ali got tagged fast enough to justify a stoppage. But he was decisively beaten.

Ali showed his Champion qualities in surviving the 15 rounds.... the first 15 rounds he'd been taken in years... the most punishing rounds any heavyweight had absorbed.... and he boxed for another 10 years!!!!

I agree.
