One of the best heavyweight champions of all time! Clearly beat Ali the 1st fight. Neither of them deserved to lose in Manilla. Great to see him look as good as he does after all the ring wars.
Anybody who puts a bad comment about Joe Frazier does not have no clear Source tile this guy had class style everything in a human being he was humble he was gracious all I have is good to say about smoking Joe Frazier Philadelphia is true heavyweight champion
Joe is amazing. Not only was he a great boxer, but still is a great man and has always been.I might send him a letter sometime.He is one of the great men that was actually a nice boxer. The opposite of Ali was.
Joe one of the greatest, Champions. Ever. I’ve always been Muhammad Ali fan, but I got to tell I cried Day Joe died, didn’t realize until then what he meant to boxing RIP Smokin Joe Frazier. Best !
incredible people don't know nothing about boxing let alone a True Champ like Joe Frazier. 1 of the best to Grace a Ring. R.I.P. Smoking Joe Frazier Rock On
@Hoopermazing frazier was the first person to beat him, he schooled ali and bust him up, second fight, ali clinched and should of been deducted points, third fight, frazier had cataracts and fought with contacts in and still pushed him to his limit, fraziers alis nemesis simple as,ali was never the same after frazier had finished with him, george formans style was perfectly suited to beat frazier, with his uppercuts, you got to respect frazier for his spirit, mans a warrior.
@frisbyrb5 Not to mention that Ali also fought Quarry and Bonavena on route to challenging Joe Frazier. Ali had lots of time to prepare. Also interesting to note that Max Schmeling won 3 out of 5 matches 8 years after his rematch with Joe Louis. No excuse.
No one making excuse for Ali losing and I love Joe but let's be fair, after 3 years and 8 month layoff no way Ali had enough time to prepare for Joe. Not Joe's fault, Ali was trying to get money before Supreme Court decision that would come in June 1971. Ali fought Quarry in Oct 1970 Bonavena Dec 1970 and Frazier March 1971. That 3 fights in a little under 6 months come on man who does that today. In the meantime Frazier had 12 fight's during Ali exile.
@frisbyrb5 - Then the Butterfly came back and whipped his ass twice. Then big George Foreman beat Frazer like a red headed stepchild, but the G.O.A.T. knocked his big ass out too.
Frazier whipped Ali's ass as in the fist fight made his jaw a swollen balloon. Ali even said he got wooped by Frazier and on his back side cos he never didnt pray to god and got to full of himself and than Norton wooped him braken his jaw prior to Frazier weaken it wen he left hooked him to the jaw floored him. in the second fight it was neck and neck Ali may of scored a few more points also clinch(unfair advantage even referee in manilla said he did that and grab back of neck) as well even having boxing experts like Jim lampy said it good of gone either way but Ali had a favour reputation BUT FRAZIER WASN'T BATTERED . George may crush Frazier but he crushed everyone including ken Norton in the heavyweight division so there no shame Ali had time to come up with rope a dope using forman advantage against him. And forman was a great fight came back at age 45 so no shame losing to him. In manilla Frazier was half blind dominated the middle rounds Ali closed his eye and was fighting sightless in 13 14 true warrior but Ali was dying of exhaustion so who know what would happen in 15th round cos wen fight ended Ali collapse to his stool and Frazier was standing and walking. POINT IS U CAN SAY ALI IS THE GREATEST BUT ALI EVEN SAID JOE IS RIGHT BEHIND HIM AND TOOK OFF HIS HAT SAYING HE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST CHAMPS OF ALL TIME AND TOUGHEST OPPONENT AND THAT HIS LEGACY WOULD BE DIMINSH WITHOUT FRAZIER
plus Ali did get Parkinson cos he fought to long after manilla did ten more fights last two was fighting with Parkinson but if he stopped after manilla he would still got it from the left hooks he took from Frazier both great champs and Ali fighting with Parkinson's shows how warrior he is rip Frazier and ali
@Hoopermazing ok ali had 3 years out, but thats not fraziers fault, his job was to beat him and he did, simple dont try making excuses, i reckon ken norton beat him aswell in there 2nd fight, i dont understand why u trying playdown fraiziers acheivements he beat ali, when ali said he was the greatest, he took all alis shit and threw it back in his face, both fighters legacys are greater for the fact they both fought 3 epic fights, they where made to face each other.
@Hoopermazing Exactly , Frazier couldn't deal with big punchers like Foreman, and who knows if he could have survived a Earnie Shavers right hand . This is not to discredit Frazier because he was a great heavyweight that defeated a Ali who was still in his prime , and bad excuse for Ali not going to Vietnam when many Americans did and lost their life .
@frisbyrb5 - You keep ignoring the fact that Ali hadn't fought in 3 years and had significant ring-rust. And still, Frazer barely beat him. Of course, in their 2 subsequent fights, Frazer lost both times, which is as it should be. Frazer is only significant as a footnote to the story of the G.O.A.T! Deal with it.
In the first fight Frazier beat him and Ali was still somewat prime material he had still lighting fast hand speed but not as good legs(I will give Ali that) and frazier bob weave slip slide ali best punches and took alis best punches in their scuffles and WON Ali was great to even Frazier was shock how quick Ali got up after the left hook that took him to the ground but the fact Frazier took him to the ground shows how Frazier was stronger than the two even they had fight sooner and Ali wasn't band Frazier prime can match Ali prime Frazier can close in on the butterfly he was a tank engines who kept pouring forward taking punches ali (relies on the distance) leaving no where for butterfly to float and frazier had fists of fury that can digg in to Ali. In their last fight Frazier was half blind u can and good I closed u can say if he had full vision he could of won but its still debatable cos in the actual fight they say Ali was exhausted but Frazier wanted to go on. POINT IS U CAN SAY ALI THE GREATEST AND TECHNICALLY WON 2 OUT 3 BUT SHOW FRAZIER SOME LOVE EVEN ALI SAID HE WAS HIS TOUGHEST OPPONENT AND ONE GREATEST CHAMPS ALL TIME RIP FRAZIER AND ALI
Typical Ali fan, has to begin with an insult. No class at all. Ali was a great fighter but a terrible human being. He used crude stereotypes against blacks with darker skin then his. I remember him calling Joe Louis an Uncle Tom. Ali couldn't carry Louis' jock strap.
No Ali said stuff in the moment but after apologise and it also brought the best out of Frazier he called Frazier one of the greatest let's look at Ali and Frazier as friends

Joe Frazier was one hell of a man. I wish that we could have more people like him today for the youth to look up too.
Love you joe you are a legend RIP joe frazier my favourite boxer of all time.
Nice signature
Joe looks so kind, I wish I could meet him and shake his hand! It would be an honor for me.
Sad they shut this museum down a few months after it opened, RIP smoking Joe Frazier. A great champion!

Good bye Joe you will be missed May God bless and keep you always
this is adorable rip joe
man im so glad to see Joe Frazier is doing well and still has that energy to keep on living.

Joe has so much more class then Ali. Frazier came up from nothing and made something out of himself. Such a great example for the kids.
Awesome signature..
First Man To Beat Ali.
fraziers a good man, he clipped the butterflys wings.
i want to see her behind the scenes
Joe frazier was born the same month as ali and in my opinion Joes just as smart if not smarter.
@frisbyrb5 Not to mention that Ali also fought Quarry and Bonavena on route to challenging Joe Frazier. Ali had lots of time to prepare. Also interesting to note that Max Schmeling won 3 out of 5 matches 8 years after his rematch with Joe Louis.
No excuse.
Amen Joe beat Ali liund and clear no excuse and the other two were neck and neck especially the last one where Joe wen into the fight HALF BLIND
No one making excuse for Ali losing and I love Joe but let's be fair, after 3 years and 8 month layoff no way Ali had enough time to prepare for Joe.

You and your idle Clay have the class of a jackass you certainly learned Clays why of making yourselves look and sound like classless idiots
Good comment.I admire Ali but Louis was better.
Keep the good comments coming!
@Hoopermazing ok ali had 3 years out, but thats not fraziers fault, his job was to beat him and he did, simple dont try making excuses, i reckon ken norton beat him aswell in there 2nd fight, i dont understand why u trying playdown fraiziers acheivements he beat ali, when ali said he was the greatest, he took all alis shit and threw it back in his face, both fighters legacys are greater for the fact they both fought 3 epic fights, they where made to face each other.
Amen Ali Frazier beat Ali first time. And u can say that wen Ali beat Joe in manilla Joe was half blind
amen show Frazier respect and acknowledgement Ali may be greatest but Frazier is right behind him it like getting sliver medal
@Hoopermazing Exactly , Frazier couldn't deal with big punchers like Foreman, and who knows if he could have survived a Earnie Shavers right hand . This is not to discredit Frazier because he was a great heavyweight that defeated a Ali who was still in his prime , and bad excuse for Ali not going to Vietnam when many Americans did and lost their life .
neither the whole heavyweight division could handle George punches like ken norton
get over it, joe did, they sold tickets
@frisbyrb5 - You keep ignoring the fact that Ali hadn't fought in 3 years and had significant ring-rust. And still, Frazer barely beat him. Of course, in their 2 subsequent fights, Frazer lost both times, which is as it should be. Frazer is only significant as a footnote to the story of the G.O.A.T!
Deal with it.
In the first fight Frazier beat him and Ali was still somewat prime material he had still lighting fast hand speed but not as good legs(I will give Ali that) and frazier bob weave slip slide ali best punches and took alis best punches in their scuffles and WON Ali was great to even Frazier was shock how quick Ali got up after the left hook that took him to the ground but the fact Frazier took him to the ground shows how Frazier was stronger than the two even they had fight sooner and Ali wasn't band Frazier prime can match Ali prime Frazier can close in on the butterfly he was a tank engines who kept pouring forward taking punches ali (relies on the distance) leaving no where for butterfly to float and frazier had fists of fury that can digg in to Ali. In their last fight Frazier was half blind u can and good I closed u can say if he had full vision he could of won but its still debatable cos in the actual fight they say Ali was exhausted but Frazier wanted to go on. POINT IS U CAN SAY ALI THE GREATEST AND TECHNICALLY WON 2 OUT 3 BUT SHOW FRAZIER SOME LOVE EVEN ALI SAID HE WAS HIS TOUGHEST OPPONENT AND ONE GREATEST CHAMPS ALL TIME RIP FRAZIER AND ALI
Typical Ali fan, has to begin with an insult. No class at all. Ali was a great fighter but a terrible human being. He used crude stereotypes against blacks with darker skin then his.
