Still amazes me today to think Frazier took Ali life and death with one eye.

And pretty close to one hand

His hand was broken too ? Frazier is a terminator.

No, he just never used his right much.

His left hook was his signature, he didn't really have anything else that was great besides his movement and his huge hook. Now people are going to jump all over me and swear the rest of his arsenal was great, but the left hook was his punch.

What a signature punch to have, that left hook could knock down a steel column.

He just never really developed it.

If I had the power to change one thing about boxing's past I would have Ali retire after he won the Thrilla.

Good luck, Tobe. Everyone was begging him to retire after that. There's no reasoning with Muhammad Ali. He fought until the sport handed him his death certificate. In my opinion, though he may not know it, if Ali had to do it over again, he would've got caught up in the excitement and never changed a thing.
