During their era; the heavyweights were supreme! I can remember the excitement within me about boxing. I was a young kid, but I knew about the game of boxing.
Joe Frazier was a class act. And even if Ali was just promoting the fight he really hurt Joe deeply. And alot of people don't know during Ali's suspension from boxing. Joe Frazier feed Ali n his family and gave him money to pay his bills and he also helped Muhammad Ali obtain his license regained it again to box Joe Frazier was a class act and he never once threw it up of his financial support of Muhammad Ali during Muhammad's downtime when he had no money. Joe Frazier was a great boxer and a great human being. We could sure use alot more Joe Fraziers in the world. R.I.P. SMOKING JOE
This scene in this doc... made me tear up ....when your arch rival cries for your well being after the wars you had with him that's a level of respect and love on a whole another level that few can understand
This is actually a prepared clip I believe.....Only because the last documentary about Joe has him OPENLY and loudly proclaiming that He was the cause of Ali's condition from his left hooks and this and that. It wasn't vicious but he made it clear he wasn't very fond of Ali's treatment of him. Especially after he'd befriended Ali during his troubles with the Govt after being a no-show to his induction for the draft.
"Parkinson's is my toughest fight. No, it doesn't hurt. It's hard to explain. I'm being tested to see if I'll keep praying, to see if I'll keep my faith. All great people are tested by God." Muhammad Ali
I hope he found Jesus before he died if not he is burning in hell for eternity. Muhammad wasn't a God. Unless you accept that Jesus died for your sins there is nothing but eternal torment after you die.
Hard being tested! Don't want to be tested anymore tire. Fought the good fight of faith through out life. He's real, God 🙏🏽 Heal You! Jesus Name Amen 🙏🏽.
عاصرت زمن محمد علي و جو فريزر وشاهدت معاركهما المليئة بالتحدي والحماس والقوة ، نعم هؤلاء هم أبطال الملاكمة العظماء الذين ذهبوا وبقيت بصماتهم بيننا ، لقد ذهبوا عن الحياة الدنيا ولم نعد نراهم الا بالصور والفيديو لكنهم لم يذهبوا من ذاكرة جيلنا والأجيال القادمة 😢
Ali initially was an acquired taste for most people. It was like people felt a lil guilty about enjoying it, but then eventually said what the hell. I saw the changes in my own family. At first they thought he was arrogant, Disrespectful, & a bad sport. They couldn't weight to see him lose, but they'd have to keep watching him to do it. Suddenly after too many hits on their funny bone, they suddenly got it. They got what made him tick & they loved it. My whole family often sat around talking about his latest. escapades & his banter with Howard Cossel who they initially didn't like either. It got to the point that, because we all finally liked him, that we wanted to see Frazier feel the same, because he was just so damn likable. He was smaller than most heavy weights, but such a gentlemen , a ferce fighter. & wore his feelings on his sleeves. What a great rivalry Ali & Frazier had. I miss that.
Mr. Frazier was my friend. I called him every holiday and Father’s Day for 20 years. He was an absolutely wonderful and amazing man. H I had the same respect for him as a father figure to me. He always gave me good advice on life in the boxing world and in life in general. I miss my old friend. I still have his phone number saved on my phone and still remember some of our conversations. I still have much love and respect for my dear friend Smoking Joe Frazier. May he be happy and at peace in God’s presence in heaven always.
To see the forgiveness in Smokin Joe Frazier, toward's another fighter who flat did him wrong in Muhammad Ali, is truly touching. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though, because SJF had more Heart than any sport's figure I've ever seen in my entire 60yrs! I love that Joe forgave Ali & I especially love that they made peace with each other before Joe unexpectedly passed first. RIP Oh Great one's, for you shall forever be Legendary 🙏 😞
That's real man right there. It was a different time back then. We all talk about Ali but no one ever talks about joe and Joe was a true badass. He didn't have to do all the talking for you to know he was a BMF.
Joe Frazier was a good fighter and I loved Ali with all of my heart but he did Smoking Joe Frazier wrong and hopefully he apologized to him before he died.
Please learn the complete backstory to this clip. Ali is a childhood hero of mine. Frazier is a grown man hero to me . Both men are men who I admire to this day
Smokin' Joe was great & will always be great. Loved the time when You, Ali & Big George were boxing. Beautiful to watch & admired you all. God-bless & blessings to all of you 🙏 & the greats of your time. Love you guys. Thank you for all you did & were a part of.
As a kid during 70’s, watching these heavyweight champs. ( Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Holmes ) is such a big thrill! The glory days in heavyweight boxing!
Joe, I under appreciated you as a youth. When I grew up and learned somethings about you. You had/have my respect as one of the greatest boxers and human being.
That's the thing it never were friends. Muhammad Ali apologized to Joe Frazier truly minute from his heart is Joe Frazier act like you forgave him he never really did he talked about it later on he never forgave Muhammad Ali and always held a grudge towards him the only reason he went overseas to see him in special bass to Muhammad Ali because the company paid for it I didn't have a free trip to another country and fly back home so he went and all he was like my good friend Joe Frazier deep down the side Fraser so hated him Joe can never let go all his resentments towards Ali
I love you too Joe..u the one in my heart...y the best man on my list boxer ever...u create a warrior for new generation... Malaysia fan always love you grandpa... 80 fan born
He was necessary in the growth and trilogy that Ali had. It’s a shame that he was not respected and idolized like Ali. Joe was a good man who helped Ali in his greatest time of need. Smoking Joe Frazier fought Ali in Manila with one blind eye. Money, opportunity and desire to win kept him as a gladiator. Whether he won or lost the fights are really irrelevant in so many ways. He faced Muhammad and won the greatest fight of life. He deserves so much more. Rest In Peace great warrior. Smoking Joe Frazier champion of the world
Through the harsh , cruel and unusual wars that Smoking Joe and The Louisville Lip had in and out of the ring , it's a beautiful thing to see Joe Frazier be so vulnerable and cry as he eulogizes his friend...
I mean Joe Frazier himself was a legend but I just love it how much love they have for their ring brother Muhammad Ali. I mean how can someone inspire so many.
Smokin Joe always showed a lot of class and the fact he put money in Ali's pocket when he was down.Says a lot about the type of person he was RIP
Ali, Frazier and Foreman were all three very special people. Once in a lifetime experience having these three fighting at the same time.
During their era; the heavyweights were supreme! I can remember the excitement within me about boxing. I was a young kid, but I knew about the game of boxing.
True!
Joe Frazer, Ali, George Foreman they weren't just ordinary men they were legends
Frazier got a heart of gold
Joe Frazier was a lion of a man……..but he had a big heart, too.
Legend never die , God bless u Joeee Frazierr
I miss this guy ... He is a hero to me .
Joe Frazier was a class act. And even if Ali was just promoting the fight he really hurt Joe deeply. And alot of people don't know during Ali's suspension from boxing.

A legend showing respect for a legend. You'll both be missed...👍🙏
I am alis fan but showing this my respect for joe increase 100 folds. ❤You joe ❤you ali the greatest.
This scene in this doc... made me tear up ....when your arch rival cries for your well being after the wars you had with him that's a level of respect and love on a whole another level that few can understand
I'm sure Frazier and Foreman were part of the reason Ali ended up the way he did as much as those two beat his brain in during their fights.
Absolutely Amen 🙏
please name of documentary?
What doc is this from? Would be really helpful to know
This is actually a prepared clip I believe.....Only because the last documentary about Joe has him OPENLY and loudly proclaiming that He was the cause of Ali's condition from his left hooks and this and that. It wasn't vicious but he made it clear he wasn't very fond of Ali's treatment of him.

I met him once in 1995 in Atlanta. He was a gentleman and very funny and I am thrilled to have met him!
Muhammad and Joe...........giants.
We’re listening to a King…🤴🏾❤️💐
Thx u

Nothing but respect for Ali and Joe... They set the bar so high...
Joe is a great man, he was able to forgive ALi after Ali did him wrong.
I hadn't seen this before, it brought tears to my eyes.
Frazier class is the greatest with the respect he gives Ali over his illness.
Joe Frazier was a good fighter and I loved Ali with all of my heart but he did Smoking Joe Frazier wrong and hopefully he apologized to him before he died.
Please learn the complete backstory to this clip. Ali is a childhood hero of mine. Frazier is a grown man hero to me . Both men are men who I admire to this day

He was necessary in the growth and trilogy that Ali had. It’s a shame that he was not respected and idolized like Ali. Joe was a good man who helped Ali in his greatest time of need. Smoking Joe Frazier fought Ali in Manila with one blind eye. Money, opportunity and desire to win kept him as a gladiator. Whether he won or lost the fights are really irrelevant in so many ways. He faced Muhammad and won the greatest fight of life. He deserves so much more. Rest In Peace great warrior.
