He never said he was the greatest but he defeated the man who claimed he was. He won his fights when heavyweights were heavyweights and when men were men unlike today's garbage!

Ali may have been the peoples champion Joe but you were mine..

RIP SJF.

RIP Smokin Joe Frazier may you Rest In Piece and remember all the good times.

Quote:

Olympic gold-medallist. Undisputed world heavyweight champion. Twelve world-title fights. A 73% knockout record. Arguably the best left hook in history. All this with a gammy arm and while blind in one eye. You see, it can be done, outlining Joe Frazier's greatness without mentioning 'the other one'. Ah well, I very nearly managed it.

Truth was, and truth is, however much Frazier might have protested, Muhammad Ali illuminated Frazier's own greatness while also managing to be the bane of his life.

Very sad to hear of this when l got back last night and Joe Frazier was one of the greats in my mind because he was around in a era when we had true heavyweights who could talk the talk but also walk the walk as well.

RIP Joe
