  • Ali Frazier King<br>FILE - In this July 17, 1975, file photo, heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, left, points at challenger Joe Frazier at a news conference in New York City. Standing between the fighters is boxing promoter Don King. It was, Muhammad Ali would later say, the closest thing to death he had ever known. He and Joe Frazier had gone 14 brutal rounds in stifling heat off a Philippines morning before Frazier’s trainer Eddie Futch mercifully signaled things to an end, his fighter blind and battered and feeling pretty close to death himself. It was 40 years ago and the ``Thrilla in Manilla’’ still lives in sporting lore. (AP Photo/File)
