    Thanks for uploading this.
    I wish they'd do this more often. I'm surprised Joe was last in the 100 yard, but I guess he only ran long distances when training.

    really? I dont get it black people are usually athletic, swimming should be easy:p I do think its cool that he participated. they should done this later with roy jones, I think he would run very quick.

    Against Who? Bob Seagren was Olympic gold medal athlete that Frazier was against.

    I at least expected Fraizer to out weight lift Seagren.

    11.5 is a pretty shameful time, and that was the best out of all of them.

    I bet Roy would run sub-11. His short area burst is pretty incredible but he's long enough to keep it.

    That was fun, thanks. I wonder if Frazier's left arm handicap hindered him. I recently read his autobiography and he talked about how he badly injured the arm in an accident as a child and he felt it was one of the reasons his left hook was so powerful. However, he said he couldn't fully extend it and move it freely in all directions, so I must think that it had a bad effect on his performances in some of these competitions. This is a really cool event, how come they don't have these type competitions anymore? Or do they, but just not advertised well enough?
