Happy Birthday Smoke

Favorite fighter of all time (along with Sonny Liston), whenever I hear the word warrior, Joe Frazier comes to mind.

 

no particular reason he just never appealed to me as a fighter

I don’t hate the guy but I don’t like him either

 

Tell me some of your favorite fighters...if you don’t mind

 

Sullivan
Langford
Dempsey
Ali
Tyson
Robinson
Leonard

just of the top of my head

 

I love that interview, esp. Joe: "Youre...gonna...get...your...ass...whipped."

 

Forever! Long live the little beast!

 

Still try n watch this every couple week or so, great highlight
Joe Frazier Tribute - The Final Farewell - YouTube

 

I also want to pay respect to one of the great Heavyweight Champions Smokin' Joe Frazier on his Birthday
I had the pleasure of shaking Joes hand & chatting with him in Dallas. I said "Its a great thrill for me to shake the hand of the man who knocked Ali down" Joe grinned & said
"Thanks man but the trouble was he didnt stay down did he but I still won ."

 

I’ve never understood how someone’s favourite fighter can be one that there is little to no footage of.

Each to their own.

 

guess I enjoy the story of their careers

 

Class act, good man tad overrated as a fighter great no doubt but his legend exceeds him.
