He definitely won that fight. You could also look at who was really hurt during that fight. Ali had him slightly hurt in the 9th, but Joe had Ali nearly out on his feet in the 11th, and hammered Ali in the 15th.

One of the most disrespectful things that the city of Philadelphia did was to place a statue of Rocky who was a fictional character played by Sylvester Stallone who was born in New York in front of Freedom Hall , and there was Joe Frazier born in Philadelphia, a true great Champion, it wasn't til after he died they decided to make a Statue in his honor, and even sadder than that Sylvester Stallone had Joe Frazier in a cameo appearance in the first Rocky movie, but Sylvester was kind enough to acknowledge Joe in the movie as true champion, and Sylvester Stallone said in the scene when he's at a slaughtering house punching hanged up on hangers, he got that from Joe Frazier, because Joe would go to a slaughtering house and punch hanging meat, and it's only reason why Sylvester Stallone added to his move was because of Joe Frazier.

Joe Frazier was born January 12, 1944, the twelfth child of Dolly Alston-Frazier and Rubin in Beaufort, South Carolina. He was raised in a rural community of Beaufort called Laurel Bay. Long before he became Smokin' Joe, the future heavyweight champion was known in his South Carolina hometown as "Billy Boy" -- a stocky farmer's son who honed his devastating left hook on a punching bag made from a flour sack stuffed with corn cobs, rags and Spanish moss. By age 6, Frazier was in the fields helping his brothers and sisters pick tomatoes and other crops. He began driving his father's pickup truck when he was 7. His mother would later recall Frazier started to fight around the age of 9. Frazier's father encouraged the brawling, saying he could grow up to be the next Joe Louis, and Frazier started training with whatever materials he had at hand. The fighter later said he gave daily beatings to his homemade punching bag for several years. Frazier was expelled from school in the ninth grade when he fought a white student for calling his mother names. He got a job working construction that helped him build his body and earn enough money to leave the South. In 1959, at age 15, he boarded a Greyhound bus and went to New York to live with his brother. He soon moved to Philadelphia and got a job in a slaughterhouse, where he practiced his punches on sides of meat. He rose to prominence quickly after joining a gym. He turned pro in 1965 after winning an Olympic gold medal in Japan. He fought in some of the most exciting, important and memorable boxing matches in history. He is considered one of boxing's 10 greatest Heavyweight champions ever and is in the International and World Boxing Halls of Fame.

With all due respect, nobody beat Ali in his prime, we never saw Ali's prime because he was exiled. After he returned, he wasn't the same fighter.

@fiucik1 Жыл бұрын

@@IrishTechnicalThinker No his exile didn't improve him. If you don't fight for 3.5 years, it takes your reflex and your stamina. Ali before exile was faster and could dance even in the 15th round. After exile he wasn't the same fighter. And you don't have to believe me. The late, grate Cus D'Amato said that to Ali before his fight with Frazier. Ali beating Frazier in the last 2 fight. I think that after the Fight of the Century, Joe wasn't really the same. He won the fight, but the didn't win in the eyes of the people, the public. He didn't gain his rightful respect. And Ali fought more clever fight in the rematch and rubber match.

@@fiucik1 Absolutely, I agree with you on that. Joe wasn't quite the same again as he didn't reclaim the title back again or look as good as he did that night.

Especially the NSA who had Ali under surveillance 24/7 over those years wouldn't help either.

Frazier was always humble, generous, and the hardest working man in boxing. He came from poverty and maybe didn't have the best genetics, looks or articulated speech. What he achieved came from absolute discipline, hard work and pure warrior's heart. God gave Ali all the gifts but humility wasn't one of them, the way he treated Joe was shameful and disgusting. Frazier was the better man of the two, I'm glad he gave Ali a beating specially in that first fight.

Despite this, he prevailed, he beat him in that first fight and, for me, he got the moral and spiritual victory in their third encounter by refusing to give up, be willing to die in the ring; his trainer knew this and stopped the fight, while Ali was begging Angelo to stop it for him.

I'm proud to know that Smokin Joe came from my home of state South Carolina. He made a name for himself in Philadelphia and I'm sure they're proud of his accomplishments also. One of the toughest men as well as fighters to ever live. His relentless drive , heart , and determination carried him to greatness even after coming from humble beginnings. By all accounts Joe was a good man and what you saw was what he was. No flair , no flaunting , and no faking to be someone other than who he was. He was black America's version of Rocky Marciano much in the way that their bullish styles and devastating punching power overwhelmed opponents and allowed them to impose their will. Joe wasn't 49-0 but he reminded me of Rocky alot. 2 of the greatest heavyweight champions to have ever stepped in the squared circle.. Rest in Peace Champs. ❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Rocky Marciano was 'carefully' groomed, avoiding some very big hitters, he refused to fight 'Sonny Liston, and another tough Black fighter, he really fought 'Old men' past their primes, Jersey Joe Wallcot, Joe Louis (near 40 years old at that time,when he was forced to return to the ring purely to gain money for the irs) he took 8 months of training when he became champion, ate meat with Anabolic Steroids, hence his hi tone voice, as his testicles didn't produce Natural testosterone, similarly to Mike Tyson! there is an awful lot of untold truths about certain 'Great Champions' imagine a young George Foreman,or Lennox Lewis, with their dramatic reach, and awesome Punching Power, remember Archie Moore floored Marciano! i think Joe Frazier in the very same physical conditioning of 8th March 1971 against Muhammad Ali, would have beaten pretty much every fighter in the history of that division.

Frazier hurts every time he thinks of Ali. His hostility still rages within. It's a consuming, ugly bitterness he has carried for decades, the result of the hurtful things Ali has said. He insulted his intelligence, his character and his lack of black pride. Ali called Frazier ugly and ignorant and, most disturbingly, an Uncle Tom. Frazier, the son of South Carolina sharecroppers, was deeply wounded by Ali's ridicule which was accepted as socio-political fact and isolated Frazier from the black community. Ali somehow succeeded in making a fight between two African - American men a matter of black and white. Throughout the black community, he was an object of derision and scorn because of the way Ali treated him, it was cruel. The hatred grew intensely within Frazier. He was unable to compete with Ali's eloquence, but he had a left hook that could do the talking for him. Frazier, with loating in his heart and thunder in his Everlast gloves, punished Ali for the things he said. Notice after Ali vs Frazier 1 fight announcers said Frazier was feeling sic in his corner and he just wanted to go back to dressing room. That's because Joe couldn't slow his heart and nervous system back down to a resting state. Joe already had history of high blood pressure and diabetes, he spent nearly two weeks in the hospital for exhaustion, blood pressure, diabetes and kidney problems.. BUT BUT when he was in his 40s Joe was out dancing and singing in the clubs while Ali couldn't talk and his tremors were getting worse. Younger folks haven't a clue what Ali actually did to Joe, let me explain by saying it's exactly like today's Hollywood liberal cancel culture. Frazier hated that Louisville Lip and before the fight he got on his knees and prayed to God that he could make Ali perish. Personally i have to admit, everytime Frazier smacked Ali i cheered, We All Cheered, MILLIONS CHEERED "We locked up three times. He won two, and I won one. But look at him now. I think I won all three." -- Joe Frazier

This was after he helped him get re-instated and gave him money during exile. He was deeply hurt by the put-downs. And he called him and ape and held up a gorilla puppet and sparred with a guy in a gorilla mask. Mocking his darker skin and wider nose, being a darker skinned black. Very cruel, schoolyard bullying. And he preached that he wasn't a real black champion and friend of the white man. I lost all respect for Ali when I watched what he did to Joe in the buildup to their fights.

I saw on some other doccumentary that Frazier was hospitalized for so long after the '71 Ali fight mainly because his blood pressure was dangerously high. Appearantly high blood pressure was something he struggled with even in his physcial prime. It was as if he made a deal with fate. He gave it all in '71 for victory at the expense of his future career afterward. But remember him for his years from 1965-71 as boxing's hardest working and overachieving champion the sport ever saw. Undersized, legally blind in one eye, and unjustly vilified by many for circumstances he had nothing to do with, he made it to the top at the sports most epic moment.

I’m a sixties baby and I remember the men in my family going crazy about the rivalry between Ali & Frazier. The left hook kings of my lifetime are Joe Frazier, Tommy Morrison and David Tua. Smokin Joe’s body attack is seldom mentioned in the same breath when his left hook is being extolled. His steady and vicious attack to his opponents’ midsection would soften them up for his lethal left hook.

That is the closest George Chuvalo came to being KO'd yet he was still on his feet saying "what the fuck why did you stop it" ... the man was and always will be unstoppable.

The amount of sports knowledge I have gained by watching Joseph Vincent over the last 6+ years is insane. I absolutely love your edits and you’re one of the very few people on KZfaq that does an amazing job and that’s an understatement. Keep doing what you’re doing I really love what you do and I always look forward to your next new video

For Ali fans (not his boxing fans) . Show or not...Jokes or not. Or whatever the new generation that looks up to Ali as the prototype of SJW in sports,t hinks he was doing , the slurs and stereotypes he used for Joe had an impact on those who heard the or read them. They were unacceptable , inexcusable and demeaning .

Thank you for showing us moments in time that some of us didnt live. I was born in the 80 s and the only boxer i saw was Mike. But before him, Fraiser,Ali, Foreman were born. True legends. A very good short movie I can say and for this I thank you again my friend
