I believe Ali would still go on to beat him later

Ali won the 2nd fight by excessive clinching

The 3rd was called off by Joe's corner at the end of the 14th. Ali fainted seconds later calling the Thrilla in Manilla "The closest thing to dying that I know of."

Ali was the official winner. Boxing fans love to argue about it though. Ali was begging Angelo Dundee to cut the gloves up and call off the fight. Joe Frazier was begging his trainer Eddie Futch to let it continue. Dundee pushed Ali off his stool and Eddie called it off. Joe was furious and Ali fainted.

A fair few would argue that it was Angelo that won Ali that fight.
