One of the most prominent eras in the heavyweight division was when the late Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, and George Foreman decked it out along with a number of ferocious contenders. There are also ferocious contenders during the era of Ali, Frazier and Foreman. I could write a lot about how great the era of Ali, Frazier and Foreman was, but let me do that in another column. Today, the average height of the top heavyweights will make the batch of Ali, Frazier and Foreman look like a bunch of light-heavyweights or cruiserweights. During the time of Ali, Frazier and Foreman, the purses of the fighters were not publicized as much as it is today.
