Do I remember? Are you kidding me? That was the BIGGEST event even to us kids that were in the 5th Grade at the time. March 1971. I remember for weeks leading up to the fight, all the kids would pick sides, pretend we were Ali or Frazier [[mostly Ali). I can remember the morning after the fight and waking up to the news that Ali lost on the Today Show. I may have cried, but I do remember not wanting to go to school that day. That is how big a deal that fight was to us.
