Comeback and the Fight of the Century - After a three-and-a-half year hiatus, Ali returned to the ring in 1970. The next year, in what has been hailed as “The Fight of the Century,” Ali took on legendary opponent Joe Frazier. After 15 rounds, Frazier scored a knockout, taking down the former heavyweight champion. The two would meet again in 1974, in which Ali would be the victor. (Photo: B Bennett/Getty Images)
