FRAZIER: "There was a couple of times I stung him and hurt him real well, and there was nothing he could do about it, you know. He was just trying to hold. I think if I could have got that holding off, everything would have been alright. I think the referee did try. He warned him many times about holding. But I guess there was nothing to do done about it."
REPORTER: "During the fight what did he say to you?"
FRAZIER: "He said - he won that round. You know he won that round. He said, I'm going to hit and hold you. Hit you and hold you. So these were the things he tried to do. And I tried to do as much as I can. I know -- it was punches swapped."
ALI: "It was a much better fight than the first one. I actually though Joe was finished. I was surprised at the fight you put up. Actually I felt a little weary when I saw him coming on in the later rounds. I thought I am in trouble. I burned a lot of energy winning these rounds and Joe was getting started. It went through my mind about how good he was. But I happened to get a second wind. From then on (indistinct). I can't say nothing funny, can't say nothing bad. All the publicity, all the hollering. Joe was a little upset on the day that I won. But I had no hard feelings, but I know he doesn't either really.
As far as the future goes I would like another fight. I would love to give Joe another chance. I am not going to duck Joe. I am going to give Joe all the chances he wants, because he deserves it. I think that fight was much better than the first fight.
"I must say I am proud of Joe. He had enough left to prove all of you wrong. Who said that we were finished? You can talk about superfight number two. Two fighters who are not champions who punched each other to death. I would like to say again to the surprise of all of you: we just put on another fight that can't be topped by no heavyweight fight in history."

Background: Muhammed Ali, former United States and world boxing champion, gave a press conference in New York on Tuesday (January 29th) with Joe Frazier -- the man he had just beaten on points in a 12-round bout. Ali said he would 'love to give Joe another fight', while Frazier said that he would probably have won if ali had not done so much holding.
This was return match for their first bout in 1971 when Frazier won. Although it was not a world title fight, it attracted enormous interest; each man earned 3 million U.S. dollars (1,350,000 pounds sterling) from it. The biggest purse in the history of boxing. The pattern of fighting was as expected, with Frazier, massively strong and resilient, trying to get in a big punch, and Ali putting in a flurry of punches and then dancing out of range or going into a clinch. The points decision was unanimous.
After the fight, Ali harangued pressmen for over two hours. Frazier slipped away before the end, having said that he, too, would be happy to have another fight.
Ali was full of praise for Frazier. He expressed much more interest in another fight with Frazier than in a chance to fight world champion George Foreman. Read less

I doubt if anything in boxing shall ever come close to that almost superhuman rivalry. Watching them today I felt just as excited as if the fight was held yesterday. Thanks for this rarest of clips.
Two great warriors, in a tough tough, brutal sport, I take nothing from either, and give only respect.
I had seen about how nice Ali was towards Henry Cooper, but did not expect this, and had not seen ir or read about it back then. Ali really showed himself to be a true gentleman. I was very suprised.
Nice to hear after this fight -- and after Manila -- Ali respecting and complimenting Joe Frazier.
Bring more of those, great clip
Ofc
Ali was all class greatest for the reason .
You the goat for finding these and showing us
Two true warriors. Both ended up paying a hefty price for absorbing so many hard punches. Courage comes at a cost....
Wow, thank you. Just when you think you've seen all the Ali footage, RUclips always surprises you.
Thanks for uploading this video clip
Awesome footage. Thank you
Priceless post fight interview. Respect across the board. Side note, Ali rocked Frazier in the 2nd rd. The referee step in and confusingly stop the action. Refs name was Tony Perez. 🥊
W Upload Never Seen This Only Photo’s and Probably A Short A Few Second Clip Somewhere
Lucky I’m Around To Show More Of Unseen Footage.
This is very rare. You see how Ali dropped the trash talk post fight but continued promoting
KNOW your history!
Ali did this all the time.
After almost every fight!
Ali never disliked Joe and wanted to be friends once the fight was over
Great post.
I see two legends but Muhammad Ali is the greatest of all time.
Agreed
THAT is debatable. I will say that 1967 and earlier Ali was a better boxer. He lost a bit of his greatness after that 3 year layoff. Foreman lost a small amount of quickness and power after his 10 years away from the ring. But 3 years is a LONG time for a guy who was super quick, fast, and light on his feet. He was never quite the same fighter after that layoff. He got by in later years by having a great chin and his ring I.Q., which was as high as any fighter who ever lived...
Smokin Joe was blind in one eye since 1965. Vision is more important than speed. Frazier had two eye's, he could throw his right hook and see punches coming. Man came from poverty. Was one of 13 children. No money. Ali called him an Uncle Tom! Made fun of him. While Frazier showed integrity. Ali came from a middle class family, was lighter skin and had more oppurtunity. Frazier also looked after him when he was not allowed to box. Pick the hero. Pick the scumbag. Easy to see.
If fighters today would fight 3 times against there toughest foes boxing would be in a much better place
Another Great Upload Brotha 🥊
Never seen this before, always with the rare clips SOTBW
Rare is my last name 😂
This was a memorable fight, often overlooked in the chronicle of these two great champions.
Damn..... I was a 1year old when this took place.
damn I was - 6
Wow great footage
Thriller in mamilla - the greatest and most brutal fight the world will EVER see,two great warriors going toe to to and refusing to give quarter almost to the point of death, Ali said after the fight that “ should god ever call on me to fight a holy war, I would want Joe Frasier fighting at my side”
Thriller in mamilla - translation - Thrilla In Manila😉
Never seen this. I also never seen Ali give Frazier so much credit and respect. He definitely took the taunting too far but it does show here that he did also show Joe respect.
Easy to show a modicum of respect when you've won. Ali was trash.
@@Bazooka183 he didn't need to show respect though, he could have rubbed Joe's face in it. real trash would have done that. Not saying Ali was perfect but it clear he respected Joe on some level
Joe Frazier one of the greats. He should have been taken immediately to the hospital - instead of giving a post fight press conference.
Ali is classy as always
Frazier is pretty beat up, wow, his head is wider than it is tall!...and Ali looks like he just came out of a fashion salon.
Ali took the insults too far and Frazier took it personally (as anyone would have). But in the ring, they had a mountain of respect for one another.
Like and Share ❤
Never seen the post fight press conference of their 2nd fight, WHERE DO YALL FIND THIS!?😂
This is licensed brotha it can be found on Britishpathe I have 34 films from there but mine were licensed and paid for and are in high quality
The first fight was much better.
Essa segunda luta foi a menos interessante. A primeira e a terceira, duas das maiores lutas de todos os tempos.
Esse vídeo é incrível, nunca imaginei uma documentação dessa no RUclips.
Ali está entre os 10 maiores, seguramente.
@@renatobrunharo1501 very true glad you enjoy this
Thriller in Manilla?
No, second fight. Manila was third fight
Ali vs frazier >>>>>>> manny paquiao vs juan manuel marquez
W
Joe never got his due
Third fight ?
Agree, specially when Joe was a handicapped boxer. Joe’s left hook was out if necessity-he broke his arm but was not properly set so he could no longer extend his left arm AND he was legally blind in one eye.
For a smaller heavyweight, Joe Frazier was probably the best that ever lived, he and Mike Tyson. I think Ring magazine has Joe Frazier in the top 10 at 7:00 or 8:00 of heavy weights of all time. That is pretty special !!
Looks like Ali has a broken jaw
Those Frazier hooks took tolls on his opponents.
If the ref had taken a round away from Ali for holding it would have stopped...
Holding is not a foul, holding and punching is. The referee is only obliged to break the fighters or tell them to "punch out of it."
How many times was Joe warned or penalized (in any of the three fights) for illegally hitting Ali on the hips and kidneys?
Joe owes his fame to Ali.
Joe owes his fame to his incredible boxing. People knew who he was before fought Ali
Solid point. Without Ali he wouldn’t be remembered by the general public.
Joe give Ali money before there first fight as he was broke. This is a fact. They both needed each other as they were rivals.
Firts

Mr Punchdrunk actually got to beat Smokin Joe after Big George had smashed up and finished Joe's career as a top heavyweight.
Wow
So what happened to your brain
Going strong. 59 Amateur fights and not punchy. I kept my guard up and won 48.
Very disrespectful.
Bollocks. No-one was more disrespectful than Slurry.
A racist who called out good black men as Uncle Tom's, that's what Clay was.
@@Bazooka183 reason why you were an amateur mate and Parkinson’s can happen to anybody boxing or not
Great upload thank you
