Today would've been Smokin' Joe Frazier's 70th Birthday. He passed away 3 years ago. In his honor, I am posting some videos.
Happy Birthday Champ!
Last Interview
In a brutal display of power, Joe Frazier fractures George Chuvalo's
orbit (the bone under George's eye is damaged) so badly that Chuvalo
needs reconstructive surgery to correct the injury as his eye partially
drops into the fault line fracture. A career ending injury for mere
mortals, Chuvalo continues his amazing career post surgery to cement his
legend.
Joe Frazier has his hands full again against the ultra rugged slugger from Argentina.
Joe Frazier vs Bob Foster (Nov 18, 1970)
Joe Frazier vs Ron Stander (May 25, 1972)
Joe Frazier is at the peak of his powers. Superior power, speed, timing and toughness allow Joe to steamroll Ron Stander. This is Joe at his very best.
