Honestly? How many of you would have stopped Ali/Frazier 1 when Ali got back up and ate two more left hooks, particularly that monstrous left hook on the ropes- and the ropes had only held him up?

I know a few ref's that would have stopped that right then and there- Richard Steele would have stopped it, and Mitch Halpern probably would have stopped it too.

I think Mills Lane would have let it go on, so too would Smoger and Bayless- particularly Bayless, but for Smoger, if Ali had taken two or three more left hooks just like the second one after the knockdown, he would have stopped it or given a standing 8 count too!
