Every now and then in everyone’s life come a moment that brings “a sweet joyful feeling” deep down inside of the soul….and this video does that for me….for this is a very endearing video that just makes you “really like” Smokin Joe Frazier.
First and foremost, as a Sportsphile, what is there to not like about Joe Frazier….cuz he is one of our seven Legends of Boxing in the heavyweight division during the Golden Age of Boxing (1964 – 1999) here at ImaSportsphile….along with Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis.
Folks don’t remember this fact….but if Smokin’ Joe Frazier had not fought 5 times against Ali (3) and Foreman (2)….he would have been undefeated in his career (4 losses)….cuz when you think about it….if your only losses in your career were to Legends of Boxing….that’s a mighty impressive resume.
We are especially proud of this video tribute to Smokin’ Joe Frazier….cuz in two short minutes….Smokin’ Joe gave us a thumbnail sketch of his greatness and his humility….I mean….“they’ve buried me so many times that I just glad to be alive again.”
