Papers Ali vs. Foreman (BBC.com) "If there was any doubt as to the scale of Muhammad Ali's greatness, they were erased by his dramatic and stirring eighth-round knockout of George Foreman in Zaire." 6-05 Ali vs. Frazier (ESPN.com) "In the ring, Joe Frazier was a bull who didn't need a red cape. Provocation or prodding wasn't necessary for him to come charging after the man in front of him, his head down, his fists acting as sharp horns and inflicting similar damage." "It was that relentlessness -- the near-total abandonment of duck-and-cover, the philosophy that one must absorb punishment before one can properly distribute it -- that defined Frazier's boxing career and has defined his life. It carried him to an Olympic gold medal and to the heavyweight championship of the world." "And it was that relentlessness that made him the perfect foil for his nemesis, Muhammad Ali. Discussing Frazier's boxing career without bringing up Ali is like talking about Neil Armstrong without mentioning the moon. The two are forever linked, thanks to their three timeless bouts -- Frazier won only the first, and the third was a near-death experience for both of them -- the contrasting styles with which they fought, and the vitriol they hurled at each other for so long." 6-05 Ali, Muhammad (Encyclopedia Britannica) Provides a brief biography of the great boxer and celebrity. 1-05 Ali, Muhammad (Who2.com) Provides a brief biography of the great boxer and celebrity. 7-01 Ali, Muhammad - Time 100 Most Important People of the Century (Time.com) Provides a personal biography of the great boxer and celebrity.
