Three Fierce Rivalries

1. Joe Frazier versus Muhammad Ali (Race was also central to boxing’s greatest rivalry Muhammad Ali versus Joe Frazier even though both men were African American. Privately, they had been friends before their first match in 1971, but that changed after Ali both an outspoken champion of black power and a master of gaining psychological advantage went to great lengths to depict Frazier, who was largely silent on the issue of civil rights, as a patsy for the white establishment. In that first fight, Frazier retained the heavyweight championship with a decision over the previously undefeated Ali, who was returning to the ring for the second time since being stripped of the championship in 1967 for refusing army induction during the Vietnam War. In their 1973 rematch, Ali won a commanding decision over Frazier, who had earlier lost the title to George Foreman. Fought in the Philippines in 1975, the last Ali-Frazier fight, for the championship (won back from Foreman by Ali), is considered by many to be the greatest fight of all time.)

2. New Zealand All Blacks versus South Africa Springboks (South Africa’s Springboks versus New Zealand’s All Blacks, though several New Zealand players had to be declared “honorary whites” in order to be able to play in apartheid. With few exceptions, year in and year out, South Africa and New Zealand have dominated international rugby. Since their first official meeting in 1921, neither has fared well on the other’s home turf, but New Zealand became dangerous for the Springboks in other ways in 1981, when local outrage at South Africa’s apartheid policy led to widespread protests and street battles with police. South Africa was prohibited from competing in the first World Cup competitions in 1987 and 1991. Nelson Mandela was the president of South Africa when it returned to the World Cup and won it by beating New Zealand in the championship game.)

3. Nike vs. Reebok (Believe it or not, there was a brief period when Reebok was leaving Nike in the dust. It was the late ’80s, and Reebok had blown up into the biggest footwear brand in America thanks to a boom in aerobics and its iconic “Pump” design in 1991, Dee Brown won the NBA Dunk Contest in a pair of Reebok Pumps, which later caused Michael Jordan himself to warn Brown that he had ignited “the shoe wars.”)
