Round 15, "Fight of the Century" at MSG 1971. The rest is history.
Frazier and Clay would meet again at MSG three years later, as well as the "Thrilla in Manilla." Clay won both by unanimous decision.
Even Clay himself issued a statement. Both would later appear sitting beside together at various events. And for the record, Clay was in the press box at the Cards game this Sunday in which Patrick Peterson returned a punt for a touchdown that won the Cards the game in overtime.
Frazier was 67 and have been battling cancer.
