After moving to Philadelphia from the south in 1961, Smokin’ Joe Frazier quickly became one of the heavyweight greats with his fearless come-forward style and his likable and humble personality. The highlight of his career came with his defeat of a young Muhammad Ali, and he continued to fight the best, earning the love and respect of many for his courageous conduct in the ring. Even with his losses to George Foreman and his rematch losses to Muhammad Ali he still remains one of the legends in the sport.
