“It was more than just a fight; it was an event, one that captured the imagination not just of the fight crowd, but of the entire world.” –Bert Sugar

March 8, 1971. Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier came together in the heart of Manhattan in a moment of truth. Given the dimensions of the day, both heavyweights represented much more than their own flesh and blood. The undefeated Ali, who at 25 years old had been stripped of his heavyweight title for refusing to register in the draft, was back at the doorstep of greatness after a three-year suspension. The undefeated Frazier, who was cast by many as a villain in the lead-up, the indestructible force that had pulled up residence in his absence.

This was champion versus champion, but also a crucible of the times.

It was called the “Fight of the Century.”
