Wish there was more footage of fraizer like this. Great guy

[@cygnusprime6728]

His autobiography is a pleasure to read. It really feels like Frazier is talking to you. He's so straightforward and down to earth.

[@hariharanvenkataramani7311]

Respect to Smokin’ Joe Frazier! It’s a thrill to see a fighter in the element before a huge fight.

[@crowhaven200]

Great piece showing Joe as Joe.

[@paulcooper5748]

Love you joe R.I.P brother what a great boxer you were.

[@andypicken7848]

paulcooper5748 The likes of Smokin Joe do not come along ver often in one life time

Joe Frazier, a good and decent man and a great fighter .

[@therandomwizard188]

Frazier, a very intelligent man

[@POSHMODS]

And honest too

[@abu_mansour]

@@POSHMODS The hero is always honest I think this

[@M-Maxentius]

Joe is as great as Ali in his own right

[@editorbaig4037]

Joe is greater then Ali

[@brandonkemble6792]

Such a great human being

[@vergil1155]

No wonder he went so many rounds with Ali. The knowledge about being short and on the inside and how a tall guy needs space is everything. Joe was a great boxer with great knowledge.

[@vantheman1238]

Joe Frazier was such a wonderful, wonderful man. Hard as any man and as courageous as any man who ever got in the ring; however, an absolute gentleman outside.

[@sansamman4619]

Joe is his natural environment

[@cezabose]

Such a gorgeous , beautiful , wonderful , honest , amazing human being ...... Thank you so so so much for uploading Smokin' Joe Frazier's video !!!!!!

[@randomjive7310]

The reporter just wanted to fool around and get some fun footage for his story. Joe Frazier really wanted to TEACH. lol.

[@shadicalplayz8932]

To beat Joe Frazier, you either gotta be the hardest puncher, or be the greatest fighter of all times, Smokin Joe Is The Best Gladiator

[@joshuajarod1909]

Frazier didn't have all the dazzling wordplay or model looks of Ali, but he was a real man straight up and down. Willing to tear a hole through any obstacle in front of him with relentless determination and brutal grit and possess himself with strength and confidence. Can't ask more from a champ than that

[@jonhaynes1577]

Now that is how a true Champ handles himself Smoking Joe will always be my Champ

[@ebbanjenkins5960]

❤❤❤ Great footage! Love Joe Frazier...first boxing match i ever saw was Joe aged 4 years old..yes i remember 😅

[@Unsung_Earth]

Joe nice guy

[@nakulluthra2778]

Smokin Joe the legend!

[@JohnDoyle72]

I love Joe Frazier. Everything about the man oozed quality and decency. May he rest in peace.

[@davidhager8964]

The champ

[@konradmroczek2496]

This is gold!

[@fmj4138]

Love Joe, a gentleman and one of the best of all time! Ali demeaned himself with the things he said about Joe Frazier. Boo to you Ali - Go Joe!

[@saqib7965]

FM J Ali loved Joe it's he was just promoting the fights

[@fmj4138]

@@saqib7965 So that makes it ok to speak to him or anyone in that way? As long as you 'love' them? I don't go with that.

[@patrickstar6065]

FM J u obviously don’t get what promoting means bud, Muhammad Ali didn’t mean 90% of what he said to joe. However he he apologized to joe after the fights if he said anything that hurt him. It’s called “hyping” up the crowd into watching the fight, Ali was smart in terms of doing that

[@brancaleonedanorcia4622]

Talking bad of a person for money is something bad, and Ali did that a lot. But I remember their interaction when Foreman came back to fighting and they were trading jokes and having fun.

[@hardcorehouse]

The insults were way out of bounds; he should have at least told Frazier they were just for promo when he said them, instead of after fights

[@maxv6837]

Frazier and Bernard Hopkins look like twins in different weight classes.

[@ResidentNotEvil5]

Look at his body solid exercise and healthy top notch boxer

[@POSHMODS]

Oh. An I really love joe so much as definitely the greatest heavyweight of all times next to ali

[@duckhive]

what a man!!!

[@macmcintosh646]

R.I.P Smoking Joe I will never forget the day I met you in that gym...it was in 1980 I was 10 years old....I remember a guy they use to call Smiley that drained at the gym my uncle Mr.Pete Tucker use to train him

[@itsgleneaton4883]

He’s right about his tough skin I’ve never seen him get cut.

[@KingWilliams661]

💯💯💯👌

[@davidkarvay6444]

[@lakshdeepthakan771]

His gym was closed after his death

[@richardjamesss438]

Fraizer and foreman the two best

[@Gannooch]

have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? Please.
