Outstanding career as an amateur and pro. I can't see anyone bar Hagler and Monzon beating him with any sort of confidence. And you don't rate him...
Frazier was nearly stopped by Bonavena too. Another knock down and the 3 knock down rule would have been applied.
In one of those fights Frazier had a smile on his face as they slugged it out
I wasnt sure about the date, thanks.
Oh yeah all of those. Not forgetting Fraziers 2 goes with the teak tough Jerry Quarry. Joe Frazier vs Ron Stander Earnie Shavers vs Jimmy Ellis
Hahaha I was more of a blue stratos fan myself of old spice. My auntie in Scotland sent me some aftershave cum flyspray called sabre that was red...
I remember skiving school to go and watch that'll be the day with David Essex and Ringo. Oh Hecky la Pecky that'll be 49 years ago now.
A magic night!! I remember the fashions and music with nostalgia too.I've still got Heard it through the grape vine and wear Bennies to soul do's...
Top 5 for me but in years to come some fans may see him as the very best and I wouldn't argue with that.
He sometimes did it after a fight or even during
Don King turned his back on Shavers for losing. Typical !!
You could have a top 10 heavyweight clashes of the 70's thread going. Quarry-Shavers and Lyle-Foreman obviously belong up there
I agree, he was a real gentleman, I'd loved to have met him. I don't think he even minded being the 5th Beatle behind Ali, Foreman, Frazier and Holmes
Big George's punching technique apart from his jab was average at best but he must've been doing something right.
The Biafran will overwhelm the man of steel and stop him
