Joe Frazier Interview - 1967 with Jerry Quarry 

Joe just one of the real true good guys in all of sports!

Watching Frazier, Patterson, and Quarry together. Such incredible fighters, but even more so true sportsmen and gentlemen. Legends.

A Great fighter and a true gentleman. Rest In Peace Champ!

the banter between frazier and quarry was pretty good, you can tell the two respected each other

Wow..classic footage to say the least. RIP Smokin' Joe

Mannnn thank God for the video camera. When you think about it, it’s amazing how great moments like these can be captured and last forever.

Seeing joe hitting that bag is awesome footage thanks for sharing

How cool is Mr Jimmy Lennon announcing the fighters! The legends of boxing! No wonder Jimmy Lennon Jr followed his father's glorious path! Amazing!

Joe was a great champion.

I had my Olympic gold medal cut up into eleven pieces. Gave all eleven of my kids a piece. It'll come together again when they put me down. JOE FRAZIER RIP🥊

Ali vs. Frazier in 1967 was the right time to judge them at their best. It's a shame politics got in the way.

23 year old Joe Frazier time really flies.. A bygone era even if you were in your 20s at this time you’re in you’re late 70s and eighties today just think how many ppl that were alive in 1967 which would be billions across the world at the time are mostly dead in 2023.. Appreciate life it goes by fast

It's hard to believe heavyweights used weigh in at 193 pounds.In the last thirty or forty years a guy like George Foreman went from being considered a giant to an average or even below average sized heavyweight,

Forgot how good looking Jerry was so long ago. Love that Joe Frazier with his super-powerful shots.....the man they patterned Rocky on in the movie.

RIP Smokin' Joe

I think you're right man. My pick for peak Frazier was Ali I or the Foster fights.

I love this clip, everything about it is great. Jimmy Lennon's introduction of his "friend and buddy Jerry Quarry," is really neat. So are Yank's comments about Quarry, "(He's) just lookin' good...he's a very nice boy." Wonderful stuff.

These were the years Joe started Smokinnnn!

That is the most in shape I ever remember seeing Jerry Quarry. I wonder how different his career might have been had he been in this good of condition for his other fights.

that guy had power

r.i.p (SMOKIN') JOE FRAZIER

Class how folks treated each other. Total respect with a sense of humor.

yup,in 67,joe appeared to have that intense speed and snap goin on perfectly,and thats what made him scary,and most importantly,dangerous.imo,its that speed and snap,thats makes alot of it happen in winning.the right age,the right conditioning,confidence,the right special fighter=speed,snap,smooth flow,bang bang bang.he had the fast locomotive bob and weave that never stopped comin at guys,with fast big bombs flying at the same time.scary guy,like gettin hit with a Buick.

Smokin Joe...What a legend...RIP Joe..

great upload

Frazier was a really great guy

Great Guys Floyd Patterson, Jerry Quarry and Joe Frazier, real Class.

frazier was one of the thoughest fighter ever next to rocky marciano..

2 no nonsense, hugely courageous, fighters, RIP warriors.

MIGHT be nearly peak joe frazier here

Joe was a cool dude

I like both Frazier and Quarry. They had all the heart in the world. Although Frazier out slugged Quarry, Quarry destroyed Shavers and Mac Foster and outpointed Ron Lyle. And Frazier didn't for some reason fight any of those monsters. The night Frazier beat Ali he was the king but the fight finished him.

Love him smokin joe R.I.P brother you were awesome.🥊🥊

legend......king

It seems the people in boxing had nothing but good things to say about Jerry Quarry.

Joe Frazier looks like scary there. Looks so motivated. And Jerry Quary is only 193 pound, its really small for HW. If he fight today, he will fight at cruiser max

Frazier and Quarry slugged it out twice and didn't take a step backwards. The ring could've been 4ft × 4ft and they'd have been just as happy

why put a soundtrack over this???

Joe was still getting better at that time. 1967 would have been too soon to face a pre-exile Ali. Joe was too easy to hit and Ali could dance all damn night then.

frazier whooped ali..... great performance, great fighter

Why didn't these other guys get drafted ? just Ali ?

They would have been cruiserweight today , 194 and 193 pounds (87,54 and 87,99 kg) .

He was better than clay he's my second favorite boxer

Jimmy Lennon Junior sounds exactly like Jimmy Lennon Senior

Ali was lucky that he was out of boxing in the late 60's... Else he would have had to fight this version of Joe!!!

Calling Ali Clay. A non stopping career for Ali in 1970 and a fight between him and Frazier both at their peak would have been great. Ali would have win after a real tough fight. My opinion. RIP Frazier and Ali.

Don’t make humans like this anymore

This is the first time that I ever saw Floyd Patterson and Joe Frazier together, and It made me wonder what would have happened if the two squared off against each other in a bout. Joe was great, but I do think Floyd could have defeated him. Floyd was VERY underrated and although he was annihilated by bigger heavyweights like Liston and Ali, Frazier was much smaller and only about 10 pounds heavier than Floyd. I think that Floyd's technical skills in boxing would have superseded Joe's punching power, enabling him to win a decision over Smokin' Joe.

Joe Frazier never fought a well-conditioned athlete until he fought Muhammad Ali. But Joe Frazier didn't become heavyweight champion the the right way. Meaning he waited (years went by ) Ali went through his prime.. as Frazier got the belt. Frazier didn't take the belt from Ali. At the time Ali was champion Joe didn't fight Ali. So Joe was just a champion on paper. After Ali's last defense which I believe was Zora Foly, he then never went to Joe for his next title defense. If so I believe Joe Frasier would not have had a chance.Ali was just to quick and would have been in his best prime.Rather Ali fought Joe 4 years later and he's still couldn't stop Ali. Also there was no losers in the first Ali Frazier fight. A few judges decisions that favored Joe is not a true loss. Also it was better for Ali to go on to beat Joe Frazier in the second ,than stop Joe in the third fight(which is something Joe Frazier couldn't do, (meaning through the Frazier and Ali fights, Ali was the only one who stopped the other man truly. Joe didn't answer the bell for the 15th round in Manila.Also Ali took the belt away from the man who took the belt away from Frasier.. Forman.When Joe Frazier fought Ali for the second and third time, Joe stepped into the ring not being champ of the world.When he stepped back into the ring with Ali after there first fight, he was fighting Ali.. who was now champ of the world .Forman destroyed Frazier twice., And Ali destroyed the man who destroyed .Frasier. Ali did to Foreman what forman did to Fraser. Ali ko'd Foreman. That is how you know who the real champion was. But a few judges that favored Fraser in the first fight is not a real loss. Especially with the way Ali fought Frazier( it was so close )that really you could say Ali beat Frazier three times. But even saying Frasier won because of a few judges decisions ,..to me that's really not a loss. Like I said Ali it was the only man to really serve The losses. So it's just looking at the truth inside of all the red tape and paperwork and b.s. you see who the real champ is and see how Ali did miracles in the ring.Ali never hid behind paperwork, and all that other stuff. Yes Frasier was a great fighter, it's just when Ali beat somebody he really Won!

Fraziers tought but he woulda got killed by Ali in the 60s
