Very nice. The second fight was the least entertaining of the Ali-Frazier trilogy, but Frazier was always able to come up with something extra for Ali. The loathing that Frazier had for Ali was very real. Sometimes Frazier's kids came home from school crying because their classmates would tease them mercilessly using some of Ali's lines, saying Frazier was "ugly", "stupid" an "Uncle Tom" and a "gorilla". To Ali it was all part of the promotion and nothing personal. Ali tried to make amends in their later years but I don't think Frazier ever really forgave Ali.

I’m from Philly. Frazier was loved here as he got older. But I heard those stories.
