Who wins?

Frazier knocks out Spinks and wins the title.

However, Ali and his camp immediately start up a chorus that Ali would have beaten Frazier except for the "lay off" from the bike accident. The media joins in.

Four months later, a Gallup poll reveals 88% of the public believe Ali to be the real champ.

Frazier quits boxing in disgust and becomes a hog farmer in South Carolina.
