...tickets the first day the ad appeared and then drove 125 miles only to end up behind the screen at the Boston Garden might've been able to laugh it off if he'd done it. And Howard Cosell. Think of Howard. Ali promised to finish Cosell after downing Frazier, but it would've been worth it for Howard if he could have seen...
...wasn't. Ali-e-e-e was still very much around. No matter whom Frazier was boxing, Trainer Durham kept telling him, "That's Cassius out there you're fighting." Says Joe: "From the beginning, Clay has been the man. That's all I heard when I was coming up?Clay's this and Clay's that. When I came from the Olympics, he told me, 'Come on up, work hard and I'll make you rich.' You know what? I came up, I got rich and he got poor...
...champion, Frazier finds his peace in cars and music. His new $125,000 home in suburban Philadelphia has a six-car garage, and Joe has a machine for each space?a souped-up Corvette, a golden Coupe deVille, a 1934 Chevrolet, a Cadillac limousine, a Chevy station wagon and a $4,700 Harley-Davidson motorcycle that he guns down country roads at upwards of 100 m.p.h.

Watch him?he'll be snatching his pretty head back and I'll let him keep it. Until about the third or fourth round, and then there...
That's not to say that Ali cannot be beat, although I sincerely believe that he cannot. Frazier is the best boxer he has ever faced, but Frazier is ugly. Whatever the outcome, Clay will dominate the fight; he will dance, duck, strike, and dance again. He may bleed and he may fall, but Frazier will never dance. Some say, speaking of their styles, that this is a battle between the beauty and the beast. That's false; there can be no battle because Ali's beauty is incontestable. Frazier has no style nor grace nor beauty. As they...
