    Smokin' Joe Frazier has had a great and successful Heavyweight career becoming a Top 10 all time Heavyweight. He beat Ali when the stakes were highest and arguably won the second. Frazier was demolished twice by George Foreman, once in '73 and in '76. In his second fight with Foreman he was losing his sight and had to wear contact lenses to fight one of the hardest punchers in history.

    Frazier has had a rough retirement by going bankrupt and losing all of his money. (See Rocky V). He opened up a gym in North Philly training famous fighters such as Dwight Muhammad Qawi and Bernard Hopkins. He recently had to close his gym and sell the building. Smokin' still has deep hatred for Ali because of the pain he caused for him and his family.

    THE example of why boxing will always be a sport for the poor or disadvantged.

    Could not write, so unless someone has an autograph that looks like a kids its not his. (His wife often wrote them for him to hand out).

    Song for sonny liston

    So many mouths
    To feed on the farm
    Sonny was the second
    To the last one born
    His mamma ran away
    And his daddy beat him bad
    And he grew up wild
    Good love he never had

    He had a left
    Like henry's hammer
    A right like betty bamalam
    Rode with the muggers
    In the dark and dread
    And all them sluggers
    Went down like lead

    Well he hung with the hoods
    He wouldn't stroke the fans
    But he had dynamite
    In both his hands
    Boom bam
    Like the slammer door
    The bell and the can
    And the bodies on the floor

    Beware the bear's in town
    Somebody's money says
    The bear's going down
    Yeah, the bear never smiles
    Sonny's going down
    For miles and miles
    Sonny's going down
    For miles and miles

    The writers didn't like him
    The fight game jocks
    With his lowlife backers
    And his hands like rocks
    They didn't want to have
    A bogey man
    They didn't like him
    And he didn't like them

    Black cadillac
    Alligator boots
    Money in the pockets
    Of his sharkskin suits
    Some say the bear
    Took a flop
    They couldn't believe it
    When they saw him drop

    He had a left
    Like henry's hammer
    A right like betty bamalam
    Rode with the muggers
    In the dark and dread
    And all them sluggers
    Went down like lead

    Joe louis was his hero
    He tried to be the same
    But a criminal child
    Wears a ball and chain
    So the civil rights people
    Didn't want him on the throne
    And the hacks and the cops
    Wouldn't leave him alone

    Beware the bear's in town
    Somebody's money says
    The bear's going down
    Yeah, the bear never smiles
    Sonny's going down
    For miles and miles
    Sonny's going down
    For miles and miles

    At the foot of his bed
    With his feet on the floor
    There was dope in his veins
    And a pistol on the drawer
    There was no investigation
    As such
    He hated needles
    But he knew too much

    Criss-crossed
    On his back
    Scars from his daddy
    Like slavery tracks
    The second-last child
    Was the second-last king
    Never again was it the same
    In the ring

    He had a left
    Like henry's hammer
    A right like betty bamalam
    Rode with the muggers
    In the dark and dread
    And all them sluggers
    Went down like lead

    They never could be sure
    About the day he was born
    A motherless child
    Set to working on the farm
    And they never could be sure
    About the day he died
    The bear was the king
    They cast aside

    Beware the bear's in town
    Somebody's money says
    The bear's going down
    Yeah, the bear never smiles
    Sonny's going down
    For miles and miles
    Sonny's going down
    For miles and miles

    "some day they're gonna write a
    Blues for fighters. It'll just be for
    Slow guitar, soft trumpet and a bell."

    If you take the time to look into the records you can connect him to John L sullivan and have him winning.

    Just a guy who I think it entertaining. Never will be a worldbeater, but I just feel like entertaining fighters whoi give their all but don't have world class talent are underappreciated here.
