With all due respect to Joe, his corner threw in the towel because they believed that any more punishment he'd die. They (they being Eddie Futch and his cornermen) had seen enough boxing deaths and they described Joe as having all those symptoms. Ali nearly killed him. I have to give it to Ali.Originally Posted by sammietheboss

With all due respect though, Ali whuped him twice.Greatest trilogy of all time, pure poetry. If the rumors are true thank you Joe Frazier, God Bless that man.
You need to watch that fight again, or the documentury on that fight because in the last round Ali quit on his stool. Ali was begging his corner to throw in the towel and Joe was in the other corner begging his team not to throw in the towel. Needless to say Joe's team thru in the towel before Ali's team.yea it was that close.
That however is a testament to Joe's heart, if he could have won that fight, even if it meant death I fully believe he would have if it were up to him he would have fought that last round. The man was and is the epitome of heart. I agree with Ali, if there was ever a holy war I'd want Joe on my side.
