Voltron Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Joe Frazier was the only boxer I ever really liked. I thought the Fight of the Century was amazing, and I hated it when Ali beat him the next two times. Joe was the greatest to me, and he liked headphones. Rest in peace, champ. Quote
bozebuttons Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 RIP Smokin Joe, The best Fights I saw where the ALI /Frazier fights & I saw them all. Quote
tom_hankins Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 RIP Smokin Joe One of the best, during a time loaded with great heavyweights. (That actually fought each other) 1 Quote
morphsci Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 RIP Champ. Thanks for some of the best boxing matches ever. Quote
swt61 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 The first Frazier/Ali fight really introduced me to the art of boxing. I was just a young grade schooler, but will always remember the funny TV commercials promoting those fights. I never thought Ali would outlive Joe. R.I.P. Joe. Quote
Absorbine_Sr Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 RIP Joe. I have many fond memories of watching boxing with my late father, and the Ali/Frazier fights were amongst the best. Gives me a warm feeling looking back. Quote
ironbut Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Yup, Really have a lot of respect for Joe. I could watch the either Ali-Fraiser a million times and still enjoy 'em. I can't remember which one it was (or both) but the story is that Fraiser soaked his face in salt water for hours every day leading up to the fight. He knew he was gonna get hit in over and over and he wanted to be sure that the fight wouldn't get stopped because of a cut! Quote
