Smokin' Joe.......
I remember watching the Ali fights as a kid as vividly as any sporting event I ever watched.......they were epic sport during the early 70's. The Wide World of Sports was a right of passage back in the day and it featured the fights usually on a Saturday afternoon if I am not mistaken. "The Thrilla in Manilla" might have been the greatest of these and it featured Ali vs Joe Frazier. The great Howard Cosell calling the rounds......it was "EPIC" in every sense of the word. Boxing at its finest. Joe Frazier had beaten Ali before.....once.....but it would not happen again. Joe Frazier was all Ali could handle. Rest in peace Joe......you were something to watch in the ring.
