HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE FRAZIER On this day in 1944, Joe Frazier was born in Beaufort, SC. Best remembered for his three epic bouts with Muhammad Ali, Smokin' Joe posted a career record of 32-4-1 (27 KO). He is the easy choice for many compiling their list of best-ever Philly fighters based on his global impact and overall place in boxing history. As an amateur, Frazier won the gold medal in the 1964 Olympics, and as a pro held the Heavyweight Title from 1968 to 1973. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMOKIN' JOE! |
