		Frazier is famous for his trilogy of fights with Muhammad Ali, the first of which, won by Frazier in a unanimous decision, has been considered by many to be one of boxing's greatest bouts.
		Frazier had a lawsuit overthrown by a judge, on November 18 of 2003, concerning 140.397 acres (568,000 m²) of then-farmland that he had acquired for 843,000 dollars in 1973 and had agreed in 1978 to sell for 1.87 million dollars.
		Frazier said he was due 1.3 million dollars in payments that were never made to him by the realty trust, and was asking for return of the land to his possession, plus the current value of the land (84 million dollars) in damages.
