I hope that they preserve his gym as well. Last I heard it's been turned into a discount furniture store, but there are some people (like Hopkins) who want to restore it and turn it into a community center.

Can't wait to see that in person!

Made a thread about it a few months ago. This is his famous stance from when he knocked down Ali...

Took long enough! I wish Frazier could have seen it in his lifetime. But if Frazier deserves one, so does Hopkins.

this is ridiculous. frazier's impact on boxing, and america as a whole, is exponentially greater than hopkins. i'm sure there are plenty of people in philidelphia who have no idea who hopkins is. boxing is now a niche sport, and has been throughout hopkins tenure. it used to be the most popular sport in the country.


joe frazier was a bonafide household name. he was one of the most popular athletes on the planet in the late 60's and early 70's.

For all you young ones!

That was the first fight I ever saw. It's every bit as amazing now as it was then.

Two of the best ever.

Should they ever make a statue out of him, it would be based on him landing the decisive final flying headbutt on Mikkel Kessler. That was a perfect headbutt. Ripping a face to shreds without penalty.
