One of Frazier's strengths as an all-time great was his bob-and-weave abilities. I never saw Joe move as well as on that night. Following the first round Ali is reputed to have said to Dundee that Frazier moved his head better than anyone he had faced. After this bout Frazier would never again move as well.

Joe Frazier was at his very best and could have beaten any fighter who ever lived on that night. Maybe not George Foreman, but you have to remember, Foreman never got hit by the Frazier hook. Had they met in Frazier's prime, I have no doubt he would have had to withstand a few. The Fight of the Century was the biggest fight of all time.
