“If God ever called me to a holy war, I want Joe Frazier fighting beside me.” - Muhammad Ali
Yeah ali trashed frazier after he helped him get his boxing license back…keep living in your dream world where ali is the nicest guy.
@@TheMemphisStrangler Kiddy go Play fortnite. Let the men's talk.
@@TheMemphisStrangler yeah imagine trash talking your opponent in a boxing match, so evil. They ended up friends who respect each other
@@finnmacmanus5723 Well that's how it goes imagine somebody biting your ear off it happened with Mike Tyson and evander holyfield. Tommy hearns became friends with the hands of stone and they hated each other more than any other two boxers in history that's what happens when you get old and don't let me forget George Foreman was one of the meanest boxers that ever lived and by the age of 45 he became the most humble boxer and Christian ever. It's called father time catching up. Life will humble you.
@@deasinho Yeah thats what i thought,Instead of providing facts on why im wrong you tell me to go play fortnite ? Lol what a mature adult you are.
"My left eye went when I was young. I was working the speed bag and some steel went in the eye and scratched it to pieces. I was blind in that eye. Some doctors were my best friends. We sheltered the story and kept it a quiet. And I learnt the eye-chart by heart." -- Joe Frazier
Ali had a better chin but Frazier had the biggest heart (along with Kim Duk-Koo) in the boxing history. I am pretty sure that if Frazier had a better chin he would fight to death against Foreman. Fortunately, he didn't.
*Michael Bisping enters the chat*
If he fought that whole career with one eyes he is hands down the greatest
@@miniramptricks1986 sometimes he fought with no eye at all
@@Aoki3997 😂😂 another LEGEND
Joe could always say he WON the fight of the century!
Nah that was louis schmeling
@@daviddelligatti9052 You know nothing about boxing. The fight between Frazier vs Ali was bill as the fight of the century. Go do your history before you comment.
@@Mr.CEO888 In opinion. And no it wasn't, but it's context and implications surrounding the fight should have made it so. It's more historically significant not just for boxing but for history in general.
@@daviddelligatti9052Joe Louis was great in the rematch with Schmeling BUT the 1st fight with Joe Frazier was known as THE FIGHT. The fight of the century
Yep. I thought Bill Recht's card was a little over the top at 11 rounds to 4, but I had Frazier winning 9 rounds to 6. On a 10 point scoring system I had it 144 to 139 for Joe. 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.
although he lost both fights against Foreman, it helped cement his tough-guy persona. Honestly, who else got up that many times? He demonstrated a “never give up” attitude that we can all aspire to
Foreman was terrified of Fraizer
@@dajonbarnes5149 Foreman's two greatest wins, Frazier I and Moorer. George said Joe was the only man he was really scared of. Beat him easily the first time. Paced himself the second time in Uniondale still a little bit in scared of what was left of Joe after Manilla. That was the best George Foreman. He needed the encouragement from Joe Louis that he could beat him again.
R u crazy he killed get up after kept knock don't prove nothing. What show joe skills is Limited he couldn't get in . Ali played with Joe the 1st fight & put Joe in the hospital for a mouth 🤡
Smokin Joe was always my favorite as a Kid! 🥊
Frfr 😢
It's sad that his mainstream legacy is being the guy who fought (and eventually lost to) Ali. He was one the greatest heavyweights of all time and a class act of a person. They don't make boxers like him anymore. When you talk about the golden age of boxing you best be mentioning Smokin' Joe.
I think has time has gone by fraizer has been separated from Ali....any boxing fan with half a brain knows how good Joe was .
@Brendan Cronin He made Ali want to quit. With one Eye Smokin Joe is a Legend
@@edge1247 I agree
Pause at 28:13. That guy seems to be whistling for one boxer while simultaneously showing the finger to the other! 😂
Liston, in his earlier fights, was a superman in the ring!...and when he met Ali, he was at least in his late 30s...Liston was just too late to the party, due to his awful past and jail terms. But check out his earlier filmed fights...He was like Tyson, before Tyson showed up!
I've been watching lots of Joe Frazier documentaries lately and so glad to watch this, he was really good man who realistically is the only man to really beat and seriously hurt Ali in his prime.
Ken Norton beat Ali in his prime, too; and while Foreman lost to Ali they attribute the onset of LI'A Alzheimer's to the beating he took from Foreman
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. And yet he still beat the best boxers in the history. Though you're right about one thing, Ali has never took such a beating like in the Fight of the Century.
@@fiucik1 I believe Ali in his prime was against Cleveland Williams and no doubt you would say the same, realistically his exile should have improved him with taking no damage or breaking down his body over the three years. Although Joe Frazier beat Ali the first time fair and square, for Ali to beat Frazier twice after that just shows how good Ali was.
@@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. Definitely Ali's exile effectively took Ali's best away as his timing and sharpness was not being constantly worked over those 3.5 years and was spent in court disputes and media madness. Especially the NSA who had Ali under surveillance 24/7 over those years wouldn't help either.
Underrated and one of the toughest fighters there ever was
"and then some"
Everyone knows he’s a god, how is he underrated
@@jesiah391 Yea I agree with you, how dumb is it to say underrated. I suspect pretty fucking dumb.
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.
There’ll never by another person who could create incredible, sports-related, documentary-style content like you can, Joseph Vincent. If there ever was a KZhead awards show that’s just about sports, I think one of your Bored Films videos would get nominated and end up winning a minimum of 3 or 4 awards every single year. Probably in featured categories like “best mini-movie,” or maybe “best athlete’s story description” even.
Best documentary...
Rythm boxing makes some good ones too, they're shorter and more concise but the narrator is really good.
only thing I don't like is the amount of sound effects he uses when they're fighting
@@beans3158 I actually like those sound effects, especially the ones from wild animals.
It sreams "cliche american documentary". Those predator sounds and stuff can be fun for 12yo maybe, it lowers overall quality of those documentaries. Id rather go and support someone with passion for the sport, not the passion for more viewers.
You know history will say that Muhammad Ali was the hero and Joe Frazier the villain but this documentary shows how much of a Hero that Frazier was and shows one of Muhammad Ali's biggest regrets in his life.
?
Ali fan here and you know what you’re actually right.
Joe Frazier was an amazing boxer and a great man. Lord almighty that left hook could level mountains. It's beautiful to see him getting the love and praise he deserves in the documentary. Well done 👏
Another masterpiece! Nobody does it like Joseph Vincent 💯☝️
Nobody
@@JosesAmazingWorlds I asked to go to the bathroom to watch this, its soo damn good and I'm happy he covered my boxing hero.
Joe Vincent is the GOAT👍👍👍
@@JosesAmazingWorlds make it so
Absolutely! A superb documentary about a great man and champion! Boxing in those days was on a whole different level. Thanks for keeping these memories alive!
Devastating hook, Colossal. The first time I've watched Smokin Joe Fraizer receiving props like this. I feel enlightened. 💯💥💫🥊👍
Nice
Me , too. The slow motion feature allowed me to watch the exact place where that left fist hit and stunned those victims on the receiving end of the punch. Paralyzing effects instantly resulted. Joe knew exactly where land that shot.
My favorite fighter. An unbeatable will and a killer hook. Thanks Joe Vincent!
It was
Unbeatable will! Joe Frazier had several physical disadvantages like the blind eye but his will compensate for all of them. He was the underdog came on top. Smoking Joe is my favorite heavyweight ever.
@@bastadimasta couldn't have said it better!
Joe Frazier also had some records out as well. Real soulful voice 🔥🔥🔥
Oh really what's the names family?😂
@@ExaltedNthaizm joe frazier if you go stay gone, knockout drop, I forgot the others lol
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. R.I.P Joe, 😇
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.
Well said.
Ali was delusional, He Lost The First Fight
Very true 👍
He definitely had great genetics.
@@lewa9575 I agree. I was just implying that he didn't had the pretty looks of Ali, natural eloquence or gifted talent. He fought through more adversity than Muhammad, including that adversity he had to face because of Ali's bullying, the harassment of his fans; also poverty, and even being mostly blind in one eye early in his career. 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. Rip Smoking Joe
Joe had one of the coolest forms to me. The way he constantly dinked and ducked and never tried to keep his head in the same spot. He's a very aesthetically pleasing boxer to watch. Combined with the fact that he couldn't see out of his left eye and couldn't straighten his left arm from a farm accident makes him my favorite boxer. He was also a class act ringside.
the most humble man to ever step in a boxing ring...
His left hook was a thing of beauty. Just so fluid
I see where Cus & Tyson got it from
as a little girl i was so in love with this hansome gentle giant...i cried when he lost to ali...i still can get sad when i think of how ali treated joe after joe helped him...
Well, when both were in their prime, Frazier won. Ill take that as a win for Frazier, even if he later lost twice when Ali and Frazier were in their prime Frazier whooped Ali’s ass
Always an anti black racist to destroy the black nationalist 🛑
There is no better crown in sports than undisputed HEAVYWEIGHT champion of the world. Congrats! Smokin Joe
His adopted city of Philadelphia commissioned a statue of a fake heavyweight champion from a movie while ignoring the existence of the real life champion they had in Joe Frazier.

@@Corina_June_Cunningham Sure thing , I read his biography too. Thanks for your tribute; from a big admirer of Smokin Joe.
Which proves the Bigotry and deep Racial Bias, the White establishment get like a volcanic meltdown when a genuine Talent comes along, and if he happens to be slightly unwelcome in their Bigoted Mindset, then they will resort to any measure to redress the anomaly, even with Fake make believe actors to present a convoluted and warped historical event! Shameless Devils, imagine it was the other way round, we'd all be in the Lunatic Asylums due to non stop propaganda ! 🤔🥺

That was so disrespectful to Joe Frazier.
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 makes me not like Ali nearly as much as I did
It's worse than that. Ali a bunch of times pushed his own nose in and made idiot noises, mocking Joe's wider nose and pretended to be an idiot, when Joe was humble and well-spoken. 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.
Thank you for pointing out how cruel Ali was to Frazier after he had helped him and backed him up during his time away from the ring. Ali was not the Greatest
Well, in Ali's defense, he did regret the things he did and said.Besides,both he and Frazier continued being good friends after the incident.
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.
If you watch that first fight the announcer says Joe is sick and people block him from the camera. Ali is seen multiple times but Frazier remained hidden and he had to be escorted out because he couldn't walk back to the dressing room. Joe left it all in the ring that night to beat Ali.
May Allah's blessing be upon Smokin Jo and Muhammad Ali, aameen
I'm a simple man, I see Joseph Vincent, I click. Another master piece
I was in a semi slumber. 6 beers and two large pasta bowls in. Almost dozing off. By the end of this I was at the edge of my seat, it's like it pulled me back into reality. Crazy good work!
YESSIR! One of the greatest ever with a incredible heart. His left hook was devastating. Would love to see you do one of the Klitschko brothers next. Both were amazing in the 2000’s and 2010’s, especially vitali klitschko
Great shout, would love to see one of the Klitschko's have a video or Naz or Nigel Benn.
Honestly , I always have wanted you to make a career documentary about Joe Fraizer , Joe was underrated , lived in the shadows of boxing but he was honest , straight forward as a sword , tough as nails , the only boxer to stand toe to toe with Ali , an inspirational boxer and a true warrior , Thank you sir for this outstanding documentary
"Smokin' Joe Frazier, sharp as a razor" A great champion and one of the best to ever do it. Glad to see people appreciate his greatness, thanks for the video.
One of my all time favorite boxers to watch. One of if not the best left hooks to ever be seen by mankind. His indomitable will is a inspiration to all people. Great video dude 🤙
Honestly felt a bit heartbroken by the way Ali treated Joe. You could argue that it was promotion and business but you just don't do that, especially because Joe gave him a helping hand in times of need.
one of the most underrated boxers ever
Another great video! Joe could have won Thrilla in Manila. Another documentary revealed that Ali was about to quit the fight but Joe's corner stopped it first. Truly one of the all time greats! May he rest in peace.
True, Ali admitted it himself.
The problem with Joe frazer is that he is that boxer who kept coming at you like a bee so it is extremely difficult for his opponents to overcome him. Both Joe frazer and sonny Liston were such a brutal and devastating punchers😂❤
The first Frazier/Ali fight is such a masterclass. He goes toe to toe with Ali all the way and outmanouvered a man nobody could outmanouver. And even in defeat the Thrilla in Manilla is one of the classic fights every boxing fan must see. I believe Joe would have died in the ring if that's what it took to stop him. The way Ali treated him at the time was disgusting, full stop. Some of the shit he said about Joe back in the day was miles over the line.
Joe vs Ali sparked my love for boxing since I ever heard of em both. It's such a legendary rivalry in sports
What an era, Ali, Frazier Foreman
The physical condition that Joe Frazier possessed on that fateful day of March 8th 1971 against Muhammad Ali in the 'Fight of the Century ' was possibly the very Best that i have ever seen, in that very same physical conditioning, i feel he could have kicked ass with anyone in the History of Boxing, including Joe Louis, Marciano, Dempsey, etc,,they would have all wilted under that same bombardment , his left Hook was Legendary. R.I.P Joe,,were gona miss you 😇
Bro amazing!!!! This channel is without a doubt the best for sports documentaries. I've waited so long for a Joe Frazier one and you came through.
Clicked on this video as soon as I saw it. I love Joe Frazier as he is the boxer that I saw that got me into boxing.
I've watched that left hook a hundred times, and it's still beautiful
Smokin Joe, Ali, Norton, Foreman, Ron Lyle, Quarrie the glory days of heavyweights. Tough, tough, tough.....
Yooo Joe Frazier is one of my favorite fighters.ever since I watched his fights with Ali I fell in love with his style. He's a Brawler but he also has excellent timing, anticipation, head movement, bobbing and weaving and most importantly the most effective left hook I've ever seen. Literally a guy who could beat a lot of ppl with 1 hand tied behind his back with just that left hook and jab. Just amazing
Thanks Mr. Joseph Vincent for another banger video! I just recently discovered my love for the sport of boxing after watching years of MMA. You educate me about these legendary boxers like no one else could, I imagine. Your work is very much appreciated!
Brilliant as always!!!! Nobody brings it home like Joe Vincent!!!!!
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.
Been waiting on this one for a long time 🥊🔥 Smokin Joe was a incredible champion in and outside of the ring. He is one of my hero’s and a true inspiration 🙏 Great video as always 🔥
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.
Thank you for your service, Joseph Vincent.
That film of Joe walking in the changing room is when Joe fought Joe Bugner in London at Earls Court in July 1973 a fight that Joe Frazier won. This was after Frazier had lost his title to Foreman. Incidentally Frazier weighed in not much more than 14 stones when he beat Bugner.
I love this, smoking joe is just unstoppable and he’s often forgotten by some and this does him justice. And I greatly appreciate every single one of your documentaries which you make which are top tier and brilliant to watch.Keep it up man I’ll be watching your content for a while ❤
Joe is definitely 1of my favorites of all time.. a rugged aggressive pitbull with a huge heart
I feel so blessed to watch these videos from Joe Vincent! He never lets us down, and is always incredibly consistent!!🔥🔥🔥
Joe Vincent does it again, another great documentary on one of my late grandad's favorite boxer "Smoking" Joe Frazier!! Thank you for this!!
Another amazing documentary by Joe Vincent! And finally it's on my favorite boxer of all time Joe Frazier! Please do one next on Floyd Patterson 😁
Every time you release a video, I know what I'm doing for an hour. Thanks for these masterpieces
i'v been waiting for a joe frazier episode for years now, thank you so much for uploading this documentary🙏
One of the very best, Joe Frazier.
Wow another classic from the legend ✨
Please do one on Anderson Silva. You’re videos are absolutely legendary and need more attention. Sole of the clips you find are nuts. As a long time fan that binge watches the fighting ones, please do one on the spider
This is the golden era of boxing. This is when I fell in love with boxing.
Glorious. I have been waiting for this one. A great fighter needed a great documentary.
History is unfair to this man, his name should be up there with best to ever to do it. Rest in Power Smoking Joe! Forever a champ!
They were all champs not the chumps these days tyson fury etc not even good enough to lace their boots 😊
He deserves all the love the world has to offer.
This was great Mr. Vincent! Thank you!
I love this legend. Underrated and humble as ever
"If God ever began the Apocalypse, I would want Joe Frazier by my side." Muhammad Ali.
Mike Tyson's peekaboo style of fighting with the snappy uppercuts and hooks with the head movement you can tell he studied Joe Frazier a lot
Can never say it enough Thanks again Joseph Vincent!
people forget that joe frazier won the fight of the century by defeating the greatest fighter that ever lived🥊
The toughest and kindest champion of all time!
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 KZhead 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
Finally a Joe Frazier video my favorite boxer. Thank you so much.
wayne gretzky someday would be cool
Rest In Peace Champ!!!
Finally, another great video from Joseph "Boom, perfect timing!" Vincent!
Love your docs Joe. I also enjoy the music you incorporate into the docs. Thanks man 👍
Ali is obviously a great fighter but the way he treated joe after how he helped him even lending him money to turn on him like he did must have really hurt joe and for that reason Ali has gone down in my estimation
He was a class act even when he was being torn apart mentally by a man he considered a friend, he would never let it beat him mentally. Great fighter may he rest in peace.
Joe let it beat him mentally,point blank.He took it to the grave.

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 .
I agree. I try to say this but you can't say nothing to people who make athletes out of messiahs
People don't understand the time in which those words were said..ALI WAS WRONG FOR THAT
Great job documenting this legend. Thanks.
Thanks for the vid! Cheers!
Already know this one's gonna be a banger I love your videos about the old 'golden' era of boxing from the 4 horsemen to ali, big George, Joe Lewis, sugar ray Robinson, Jack Johnson and now smoking Joe frazier. Mwahh *chef's kiss.
