Ali/Frazier is certainly up there, but I do believe that Borg -v- McEnroe in tennis is equal to their rivalry.
Borg & McEnroe's rivalry was so intense that it made Borg quit tennis at 26!

I would have loved to have been around at that time, I was born the same month of their first fight. In boxing terms there is no bigger rivalry and in sport certainly up there.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Its hard to compare sports such as boxing a tennis. 3 fights Vs 30 matches, hitting a ball and hitting a head.
Federer and Nadal are a lot nicer to each other than Ali and Frazier were but they do the talking on the court.
In boxing, the build up is where the rivalry starts.
