No human is limited. Joe you a great one
Frazier a true warrior a better person!
Finally a Joe Frazier video my favorite boxer. Thank you so much.
10:19 When she gives you that gawk gawk 3000 for your birthday
That left hook failed Joe twice against Foreman.
Sad Joe never fought Liston, what coulda been!
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
🗣️ Racism was something serious back then and I love seeing when black fighters sit 🪑 those white boys on there back pockets white supremacist hated that LOL 😂😂😂😂
Man I tell you
….its amazing how far toughness, grit, a great engine and 1 PUNCH, A fuckin LEFT HOOK will get u. Thats basically all he had.very few uppercuts japs and straights. All left hooks and its beautiful
Imagine how good he could have been if he fought at light heavyweight!
THATS MY COUSIN!! So a lot of I might think I’m lying but he married my grandmas cousin (mine too) and he would always go to my grandmas cookouts, it’s true
And Big George beat him like a stepchild! George Foreman the true Heavyweight Champion, who was drugged in Africa. Clay/Ali never beat Liston (both were dumps, and Liston knew the Muslims would have killed him if he knocked him out! As for Foreman, its all his management's fault, for going to a Country that would have never let him out alive if he beat a Muslim. I believe after arriving in Africa, there was a delay for a few days, then his water was spiked PLUS THE large ring had very loose ropes, where the rabbit could lean way back
when he got cornered. Marciano was a fabricated, mob fighter with two left feet, who would never have beaten a legit heavyweight, in there prime. He wouldn't even fight Cleveland Williams, and he QUIT when Liston was coming up. He mouthed off about coming out of retirement when Johanson won the title, but his people saw Liston standing in the corner, and they knew this well condition boxer (Rocky) with a big heart HAD NO MF CHANCE V LISTON!… if you want to see what the fight would have looked like, go look at the fight between Lenox Lewis and his 84" reach (same as Liston) and Tyson. Only difference is that Liston hit harder than Lewis, and Marciano because of his heart, might have been killed in the ring. If not for Liston actually being born between 1919-1922, the boxing Gods disallowed us from seeing what would have been the Greatest Heavyweight fight of all time
SONNY LISTON V GEORGE FORMAN the two Greatest Heavys of all time. Liston damn near
30 years older than Forman, was the only man, Forman said that could make him back up!
GOOD DAY. I KNOW DEEP THINKING PEOPLE ARE APT TO UNDERSTAND CERTAIN ISSUES I ARGUE SOME TIME. I CERTAIN MANY PEOPLE A ROUND THE GLOBE KNOW OF THE UNITED STATES, AND THAT ITS WELL KNOWN IN CERTAIN CONTEXT. MANY DO NOT KNOW IT FOR THE HISTORIAL ESSENCE, WHY BECAUSE, WHAT IS PERCEIVE ABOUT IT, IS NOT WHAT IN ITS CORE. WHAT IS THE IAAND ARE HYPOCRISY, LIES, BEHIND THE WALL MISNOMERS. ARE FURTHER DEFINED INVASION, COLONIALISM ROUND THE CLOCK VIOLENCE AMD ATROCITIES WORLDWIDE. ONE SIGNIFICANT THING TO EMPHASIZE IS ANATOMIC HUMAN BEING SPECIES FOR ID TO KNOW AUTHENTIC HYBRID INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.

the Indigenous Holocaust, 1492-Present
David Michael Smith
University of Houston-Downtown
During the past century, researchers have learned a great deal about the nature and
scope of what Russell Thornton has called the demographic collapse of the Indigenous
population in the Western Hemisphere after 1492.1 As David Stannard has explained, the
almost inconceivable number of deaths caused by the invasion and conquest of these lands
by Europeans and their descendants constitute “the worst human holocaust the world had
ever witnessed.”2 Scholars have long had reliable information on the size of the Indigenous
population in this hemisphere and this country at its nadir around the turn of the twentieth
century. And in recent decades, investigators have developed a range of estimates of the
Native population in the Western Hemisphere before 1492.
Thornton has pointed out that hundreds of thousands of Indigenous
people perished during wars with the Europeans and their descendants in what is now the
United States.45 He has also noted that when the Indigenous lives lost to “blatant genocide”
in California, Texas, and other areas are added to the toll from official wars, the total
number of violent deaths is certainly much higher.46
Counting the Dead 11
In addition to the deadly impact of diseases, wars, and genocide, Thornton has
emphasized that many Indigenous nations in what is today the United States were
“removed, relocated, dispersed, concentrated, or forced to migrate at least once after
contact with Europeans or Americans.”47 And he has observed that the forced removal of
over 100,000 Indigenous people to areas west of the Mississippi River during the first half
of the nineteenth century directly resulted in significant loss of life.48 Moreover, such
removals and relocations destroyed Indigenous people’s ways of life, which resulted in
substantial additional loss of life.49 Other devastating assaults on these ways of life
included
the Spanish missions in California, Florida, and Texas; the U.S.
government’s attempts to make Plains Indians into cattle ranchers and
southern Indians into American farmers…efforts by churches and
governments to undermine Indian religious, governmental, and kinship
systems… the often-deliberate destructions of flora and fauna that
American Indians used for food and other purposes…the near extinction of
the buffalo…50
Widespread starvation and malnutrition, the deleterious effects of forced labor, alcoholism,
demoralization and despair, declining fertility, and other factors also contributed to the
Indigenous Holocaust.

Dick Wipperman is a wild ass name to bear
Honestly lost the respect I had for Ali after this documentary. Very classless of him. He knew Joe was the better man so he decided to hit below the belt. 🚮
Tyson ni en sueños hubiese podido con estos titanes como fueron Frazier, Alí y Foreman y si nos vamos más atrás también hubiese caído ante los puños de Joe Louis. Rocky Marciano, Walcott, Baer, Dempsey y Tunney entre otros, pues Tyson fué muy bueno en su época, en cuanto a rapidez de golpes quizás era único, pero absolutamente no tenía nada que ver con las épocas de estos hombres que pegaban como diablos y tenían una resistencia y una fuerza de voluntad a prueba de bomba que les permitían luchar los 15 asaltos hasta el final y Tyson no tenía…ahí lo dejo.
You Can See That Mike Tyson Adapted A Lot Of Joe Frazier's Style!
Great documentary. I really enjoyed the chronological look into Joe Frazier’s amazing career.
Ring in the King Ali
My go to fighters in Fight Night Round 2 was Smokin Joe, Ali and I always custom made Jack Dempsey
I am in tears. This MAN was a Beast, Terror, I bled just watching those lefts. He was a true champion. I have him as my #2 on my top 10 all time.
Mind you, I am only 56, so the fighters I saw were after all of the other great boxing legends of the past. Back then, boxing was different.
Every fighter was tough 15 rounds 8" gloves, please, modern fighters would not have stood a chance.
Give me 5 fighters that can beat my starting 5, and I ask that you match em. I love Tyson, but all the fighters below would have beating my dude. By the way, Tyson is in my Top 10.
Ali, Fraizer, Liston, Foreman, and Norton
the guy at 28:12 🤣
Anyone watching the Ali vs Frazier I should watch it again and see why it was fixed for Frazier. What a joke.
First off I love Joe Frazier like I do Rocky Marciano that relentless, unceasing buzz saw that just keeps bobbing and weaving and coming in throwing punches. I will say I don't think he was one of the best in the entire history of boxing. I believe he would be a top contender in any era though.
And then there's Mr. rope-a-DOPE. If the refs would have stop his continuous grabbing behind the head and pulling it down and various other wrestling moves like pinning his opponents arms to their side all illegal he would be a 2nd rater at best.
Imagine your best move is to sag on the ropes and be a punching bag. Pitty Pat Clay. He could take a punch I'll give him that.
I attended a closed circuit broadcast of Ali -Frazier one, with a good friend of mine. The atmosphere in that arena that night was incredible. Hard to describe. You could cut the air with a knife. The buildup was like no other. And then the fight. It totally lived up to the hype. Incredible action. When Frazier knocked Ali down in the 15th I knew Frazier won.
They need 2 tear down that crap rocky statue down in philly and replace with one of smoking joe an actual boxer and who is from Philly
Una dintre cele mai bune și puternice stângi
Ali and Frazier loved and deeply respected each other.. and that’s a beautiful thing!
🇺🇸
Gracias por el documental, la eternidad para Joe Frazier!
Legend, Great, Bad Ass, there is no Ali, without Smoking Joe, Rest in Power KING salute to the OG, Champ Smoking Joe Frazier-Thank You! Great Video!
ALI, I'M SORRY, YOU WAS A GREAT FIGHTER BUT THAT NIGHT IN M.S.G., JOE FRAZIER BEAT YO ASS!!! IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION, OR REFUSING TO BE INDUCTED, YOU JUST LETYOUR BIG BAD WOLF. MOUTH WRIGHT A CHECK THAT YOUR LITTLE RED RIDINGHOOD ASS COULDN'T CASH
The Greatest ,absolutely Number One Boxer.
А кто еа заставке нарисован? Причем 3 раза ? Это Кто угодно но не Джо. 😅😅😅Больше даже на Формана похож особенно рисунок посередине😂😂😂
Frazier beat Ali once. Ali beat him twice. The 3rd fight ended in a bruising TKO for Joe in Manila.
It's so annoying the way he was and is treated. He was an exemplary fighter, he defeated legends quite easily, he defended his belt for years and all they say about him is when they talk about Ali
Smokin joe in my opinion had the most lethal left hook in all of the heavyweight legends it was dynamite 🧨 in that' left arm. rip legend
No doubt in my mind, if Ali fought Frazier before the crooked legal system kept him out of action for 3 long years, he'd have beaten him.
"..Stripped from his title for his stance against the Vietnam war.." murica always been the same
Amazing how similar Tyson's style is to Frazier's.
The black race needs him today. The reputation of a black middle class inner city man in this country today is of distrust, felonies, multiple arrests, drugs violence, no hint of anything close to an American family. Then when a cop defends his or her life the MF try to burn AMERICA down! I’m over it!
What did I say wrong? I was factual. YouTube is such a source of information! But I can’t speak! It’s so sad that valuable Conservative FACTUAL OPINION has no leg to stand on!
The greatest insult today, regardless of race, no one can profess to be a rock solid American Patriotic Citizen. Wrap yourself in the flag and you are a target! They will let you get stomped and beaten then the FLAG ripped from you and burned! But will censor your speech for money.
As they withstand 5-6-8 devastating blows, they get up and fight again. I know because I was knocked out and the next blow woke me up. He broke my jaw and I broke his cheekbone and arcade. I fought in that little fight with gloves and everything according to the rules. The opponent was the best amateur boxer in the country.
Thank you Joe Fraizer for being a reason to be proud of being black at a time where you saw as lesser
His power was impressive for his size wow
