I remember watching all three fights as a kid....The Thrilla in Manilla is by far the greatest boxing match in history period. No other fight has garnered so much attention. Joe was truly a class act and will be missed.....RIP Smokin Joe.

He was one of the Greats. Ali and Smoking Joe. Will never forget.

But I watched a few as a kid with my dad, enjoyed them then, but as I grew older lost all interest until Ali came about............I always pulled for the other fighter...........Frazier was one of the greats......he will be missed. RIP Joe.

Just about the way I felt Lew. But during my brief boxing career I copied a lot of Ali (although I hated him at that time) and that sweet left hook of "Smoking Joe" It was my "Night night" punch.

If Ali really believed as he claimed he was a brave man but.... I think he was the Greatest "Boxer" of all time. I didn't say the greatest fighter.

I think a lot of people hated Ali at the time because of his mouth.

 

But I will say he always backed it up and I give him credit for that.

 

As far as Joe Frazer , he sure gave everyone a run for their money.

 

RIP Smoking Joe.
