Many happy returns to Joe Frazier

So jealous i would have done anything to be at the fight of the century.

 

shows you how bias people were to that muppet clay.

 

happy birthday joe.
the month of january gave us big george foreman, smokin' joe frazier and the man himself, ali

 

Henry Hascup is a pretty cool name...

 

Every opportunity


Happy birthday Joe. A fine man and a helluva fighter:good

 

Muppet??? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Theres only one muppet here mate and it aint Ali

 

i think he is a muppet look what greed did to him! a date with holmes and berbick

 

Ha ha ha ha! 3 posts you've made here, on a 'happy birthday joe frazier' thread and not once have you mentioned the great man- too busy slamming Ali in 2 of your 3 posts. Will you ever give your head a shake mate? You must wake up in the morning thinking "Now what i say today about clay?". Your obsessed and it shows. Relax, lifes too short. We get it, you dont like him. No need to be so repetitive, going over and over and over the same ****

It does make me laugh tho

 

Ive wished Frazier a happy birthday on his official facebook page and i will probably thank him for fight of the century again in march when i meet the great man.

 

Good for you. Would love to meet joe.

 

It's true. It is like the name of a Sheriff in a western, who guns down the dirty mutha in the black hat. "Sheriff Henry Hascup's gonna gun you down if you hurt one hair on Miss Clara's head, Bart!"

Boy, I never thought of it that way!

Just to let you know, when I was 1-1/2 years old I was taken away from my real parents because they were very very poor. I was put into a Foster Home, then given Foster Parents. My Foster Parents were told that it was a 99% chance that they could adopt me, so they changed my name to Bruce James McKnight and I was told that they were my real parents. Then when I was 8 years old, my Foster Parents had to tell me the truth. I must of had a break down as I couldn't put 2 words together, I couldn't read, I got left back. Kids made fun of me because of the way I tried to read and speak.

A little time later I was taken away from my Foster Parents and put into the Newark Foster Home and then about a year later I went back to my real parents in Paterson, New Jersey, and started using my real name of Henry Hascup for the very first time that I can remember. That is when I found out what poor was all about. I use to jump into a garbage bind to get bread the bakery threw away each morning. I would then go home and put evaporated milk & water on it and that was my breakfast. At night I would collect soda bottles, as you got 2 cents for everyone. I would stand on lines with the so called homeless people each week to get some food. We didn't have a bath tub and it was a cold water flat, which means that we didn't have hot water.

To this day, I still can not read that well, and I have trouble pronouncing some words. That is why when I do talk or announce I try to get all the names before hand and then I put them on tech speech. When I do a Eulogy, I don't read anything, I just talk from my heart, and I have done over 200 of them including several World Champions (Giardello, Gatti, Larkin). When I tell people about this, they all say that they would have never known if I didn't tell them.

This is why I am so proud of the things I have done. If anyone told me that when I grew up, I would be a Ring Announcer, a Master of Ceremonies, giving Eulogy's in front of 100's and even 1000's of people, I would have said they were crazy.

I never thought anyone would say those things about the name of Henry Hascup.

Thank You so much!
