Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier's legendary first showdown has been voted the best boxing fight of all time.

The two boxing legends initially clashed in 1971 at the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City.

And the fight, which was dubbed the 'Fight of the Century,' saw Frazier emerge viciously from his epic 15-round war with the 'Greatest.'

Fans over at TheTopTens named the clash the best boxing fight of all time, with the Thrilla in Manila showdown coming third.

Also included in the top ten is Buster Douglas' sensational upset against boxing legend Mike Tyson in 1990.
