Let us take a look at two former gold medalists and world champions heavyweight Muhammad “the greatest” Ali and “Smokin” Joe Frazier.

They were both born in the south. Ali in Louisville, Kentucky on January 17, 1942 and Frazier in Beaufort in southern Carolina on January 12, 1944.

The phrase would finally move to Modern York before settling to northern Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ali finally moved to the 70th and Overbrook in Philadelphia, and then Cherry Hill, Modern Jersey.

Their amateur entries were submitted with numerous statistics. Usually, Ali’s amateur career record was granted at 69-6 with 22 detention. The phrase is usually replaced with 38-2 with 37 stops.

Ali went to the Rome Olympics in 1960 in Italy. It was said that he lost in heavyweight attempts with Percy Price, but you can never verify it. At the Olympic Games he won a lightweight gold medal in massive weight, winning all three duels. He would sign a group of investors called Louisville Sponsorship Group.

The phrase was 2-1 in Olympic rehearsals, losing to Buster Mathis, who broke the right middle finger, so the phrase became an alternative at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan in 1964. He shot three knockouts, breaking his left thumb, stopping the Soviet boxer in the third duel. Then he defeated the German decision to win the gold medal. He would sign with a group of investors named Cloverlay, Inc. when he changed a professional.

In March 1968, Frazier 19-0 stopped Mathis, 23-0, in 11 rounds for the empty title of the NSAC champion in Madison Square Garden, Ny.

While the Frazier won the Olympics in 1964, Ali, 19-0, won the heavyweight title in February this year, stopping Sonny Poston, 35-1, after six rounds at the Congress Center in Miami, Florida.

In February 1970, Frazier won the world championship title, stopping Jimmy Ellis after 4 rounds in Madison Square Garden. Ellis shared with Ali (then Cassius Clay) with amateurs who lost to him in Pro.

Ali had 9 title defense before the license was withdrawn in June 1967 due to the refusal to introduce to the army. He was able to go to court, not to prison, but he was unable to extend the boxing license in any state.

From August 1967, when he knocked out Zora Folley, 74-7-4, in Madison Square Garden to October 1970, he was inactive earning in college in universities in all of the United States.

The state of Georgia again installed Ali’s license in September 1970, when he returned to the ring in the next month, stopping Jerry Quarry, 37-4-4, in 3 rounds in Atlanta. Then, in December, he stopped Oscar Bonaveny, 46-6-1, in Madison Square Garden, before he signed a contract with Frazier, 26-0, then world champion in Madison Square Garden in March 1971. Ali was knocked down in the last round, losing his FRAFT decision.

Ali would win his next 10 fights before he lost to Ken Norton, 29-1, because of a divided decision, breaking the jaw in the second round. He won the rematch on Norton, and two fights later defeated the then former world champion, 30-1, in January 1974 for the title of Nabf, a decision at Madison Square Garden.

In the next fight, Ali knocked out the golden medalist of the Olympic 1968, and then the world champion “Gigantic” George Foreman, 40-0, who defeated the phrase for the title. Ali detained a foreman in Zaire in Africa in eight rounds, winning the title for the second time.

After three title stops, Ali, 48-2, he met the phrase for the third time in the Philippines, “The Thrilla in Manila”, and then after 14 rounds, when the Frazier, 32-2, was unable to continue.

The phrase would again be detained by a foreman and would draw Cummings with Floyd “Jumbo” with Floyd, ending his career in December 1981 with a record of 32-4-1 and 27 stops.

Ali would win his next six fights, including another victory over Norton in February 1978, losing from the former Golden Olympic medalist from 1976 Leon “Neon” Spins, 6-0-1, according to a divided decision in Las Vegas, NV. Ali won the rematch, winning a record world title for the third time. After that, he announced his pension, only to return to the ring, losing to Larry Holmes, 35-0, through Stoppage for the first time in his career, after ten rounds in October 1980. Then, in December 1981, he lost his last world champion Trevor Berbick, 19-2-1 in Nassau.

Ali’s daughter, Lail, “She is Singin ‘Ali, 9-0, would defeat the daughter of Frazier, Jacqui, 7-0, in June 2001 by deciding on the majority. It ended at 13-1, winning several smaller titles.
