Joe Frazier had a lot of class seriously he was a guy who started with nothing he always kept it 100% real and I think America was a better place because he was in it
@@adewaleibraheem3974 Exactly any black athlete that speaks out about injustice or how unfairly the country treat blacks is considered too political…Or nowadays the call it “Woke”
Joe Frazier was a great man. Never said anything bad about someone he was fighting. He was a class act. the only thing I had against Ali was the way he treated Joe. He went beyond hyping the fight. He was just plain cruel.
The Great Smokin Joe Frazier clowning with Johnny Carson, two icons. I grew up in the 60s that was the most exciting time grew up in Northeast Philly and I knew people that were backers of the Cloverlay Syndicate that Financed Joe for about 10 years. It was a magical time watching Joe Frazier come up.
@@lastdragon820 muhammad Ali deserved it, he called frazier a gorilla and all sort of names, muhammad Ali started it, frazier was good to Ali gave him money after prison, then Ali just turned against him
Imagine...they didnt even talk about how Foreman was undefeated and all the knockouts he had...like he was just another fighter...and Frazier would go on to take an awful beating in getting stopped in 2 rounds...In the end though Joe Frazier was a class act, and an honorable man
Johnny Carson is faking here. If anyone knows his history they knows he boxed in the military as a younger man. He's actually an experienced amateur boxer so he's pretending not to know how to jump rope and hit the speed bag
Carson stopped doing shows from nyc on April 1972, this is probably November 1971. I find no evidence of shows in NYC past May 1972 till 1992 all of them in Burbank since May 1972 did they do s special week in nyc in november?
Hi Jonathan, Here's the evidence: it's episode No. 2607 on this list of Carson's shows from 1972: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Tonight_Show_Starring_Johnny_Carson_episodes_(1972) Carson did 14 special episodes from New York in November 1972.
@@ShatnerMethod yes I found that out later on, you are correct sir, (as Ed McMahon would say) he even did a week in may of 1973 (the last from nyc I believe)
Joe wasn't fighting regularly after the Ali fight, it was true that he was forced to fight either Foreman or Ali. He hated Ali so much he took Foreman.
@@stevecvino He didn't like Ali and sat on his win for as long as he could. As soon as he lost to Foreman, he called out Ali and then called him out again after Zaire. Love Joe though and he's a hero and great, great fighter, underappreciated.
one quick point about these training methods like dropping the ball on his stomach...though it seems like a productive training tool..which it may be....it like all other methods that involve punishment to the body... absolutely causes harm..
Frazier is young...attractive verbally succinct....though about to enter a time in his career when all that will change starting with the horrendous beating at the hands of a prime..George Foreman .....obviously has taken many punches that are changing all that which like all bu a few fighters will become evident in just a few short years...
Frazier was out of condition in that fight with Foreman in Kingston Jamaica 1973. Fought Foreman wrong parts of his career. He fought Foreman in the condition that he was in the ring against Manuel Ramos in 1968, he would’ve been able & capable of handling Foreman power.
@@DickTrickle1 That probably would still be the result, regardless of the issues I raised. But at least Frazier would’ve been more equipped in dealing with that type of style.
When Frazier fought Foreman in 73' he was a shell of his former self. Flabby, slow, out of condition--he was no match for Foreman that night. However, if the 71' version of Frazier had fought Foreman I think he'd have a shot IF he could survive Foreman's early onslaught. (If Joe could get the fight past 5 rounds I believe he could wear Foreman down and eventually get him.)
