Product Description:
When boxing was bold, bright and glamorous and the fights were the hottest sporting events of the year, Joe Frazier was king as the Heavyweight Champion of the World. Well-known and revered, Frazier at last speaks his mind and answers all the questions his fans have been wondering about. His good-hearted nature comes through in this story that is personable, funny and a real delight.

Joe Frazier was a demon in the ring. His style would have been scary to behold, relentless, pressing and with a killer left hook.
Frazier had the terrible misfortune to have been around in the time of Muhammad Ali, where Frazier's reign as Champion of the World was overshadowed by Ali's shenanigans. Frazier consequently seemed to be overlooked as the true champion in favour of Ali.
Smokin' Joe was not flamboyant in boxing but he was honest, hard-working, religious, a familyman ... Read More

SMOKIN' JOE is a surprisingly good examination of one of the greatest fighters of all time - Joe Frazier. Despite his status in many sportswriter's minds as a sort of foil for Muhammad Ali, "the other half" of a great rivalry, most trueblue boxing fans know that Frazier was quite a bit more than that. Smokin' Joe led a quite remarkable life which was a triumph over the odds and showed, among other things, that he was "a champion for all the people."
Ghostwritten by Phil Berger, a very able ... Read More

I admit that this book is hardly good literature. Yet I enjoyed reading it again and again.
Though I followed boxing at one time, I am really not a big fight fan. But I love stories about people who put their heart and soul into what they do, and Joe Frazier certainly did that.
He describes his impoverished childhood, his flirtaion with a life of petty crime, and then his getting into boxing from the ground up and working his way to the Olympic gold medal and eventually the heavyweight ... Read More

First things first: I am a huge Muhammad Ali fan; and, I am a huge Joe Frazier fan. On top of that, I am fascinated by the lives of boxers. It seems that to become a great boxer, one must go through a bitter struggle to get to the top of that profession.
Like other great boxers, "Smokin'" Joe Frazier had a hard life, and one at which one wrong turn at the crossroads could have derailed his life.
Written in 1996, when "Smokin' Joe" was 52 and still bitter at Muhammad Ali's name tauntings ... Read More

Obviously if you are a Joe Frazier fan you must get this book, but I would also recommend it to any boxing fan. And if you don't like Muhammad Ali, you should also read this book. (For the record, I am not an Ali hater or a big fan of his, but I am a huge boxing fan).
If you are familar with boxing, you will know that every figher has his own unique story, and Joe is no exception. He is definitely an interesting person and has an enjoyable story.
Clearly one of the top ten heavyweights of all ... Read More
