There were two fighters completely responsible for my becoming a boxing fan. One was Roy Jones Jr., who is the first fighter I remember watching as a kid. The other was Joe Frazier, who as weird as this sounds I first remember from a set of encyclopedias my parents had. Each one was dedicated to events that happened in a certain year, and most of them were from between 1967-1973, so there were large parts of them dedicated to boxing. I remember reading about Joe Frazier in the years leading up to the Fight of the Century, being interested, and asking my parents about Frazier, and eventually seeing fights they had taped. Eventually I saw Frazier fights on ESPN Classic, and was immediately a fan. There's never been anyone I enjoyed watching more.
I hope that with his passing, we can appreciate Joe's career for how special it was. I also hope that we can reflect on his life without immediately bringing up Ali. Yes he was a large part of Joe's career, but Joe himself was about so much more.
You'll never be forgotten while there's a real boxing fan left in the world Mr. Frazier. Rest in peace.

A champion person
Joe Frazier represented what boxing was supposed to be....Hard work, dedication, an unmovable will and spirit. To keep fighting until you can't physically fight any longer....punch from bell to bell. But more importantly he was a great, humble, caring, generous man. Joe is one of the reason's I started boxing and fell in love with the sport. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace champ!!
