Download Smokin' Joe: The Autobiography of a Heavyweight Champion of the World, Smokin' Joe Frazier AudioBook Free
When boxing was vivid, bright, and gorgeous and the battles were the latest sports of the entire year, Joe Frazier was king as the Heavyweight Champ of the World. From 1970 to 1973 he reigned. Having a job record of 32-4-1 with twenty-seven knockouts and an Olympic gold medal, Frazier leaves little question that he was one of the greatest fighters ever. Well-known, adored, and revered as a gentleman and a brutal rival in the wedding ring, Joe Frazier talks his brain in Smokin' Joe - about growing up poor and fighting in the first $2.5million bout; about the first days of his camaraderie with Muhammad Ali and exactly how their relationship transformed; and about the often corrupt world of boxing and what really went on inside and outside the ring. Personable, good-natured, and funny, Frazier's storyline is a genuine delight.
