What was his illness (aside aging)? Should've been something serious. Probably due to constantly getting hit in the head. Sports like these suck big time.

Why did he do that. Why did they film it?

Feels like watching a Genova clip where the star is not on the level of the "crew"

What a force Frazier once was.

Those fights between him and Ali took something out of both men. Each was never quite the same again after those battles. But I guess it's better being a has been, than a never was, in just about anything.

QFT, why would anyone film a drunk brain damaged Frazier hitting the heavy bag is beyond me. One of the bests of all time. I watched every Frazier fight back in the day. No one ever talks about how Ali was banned from boxing for dodging the draft and Frazier fronted him money.  Then when Ali got his license back he turned his back on Frazier.

I wouldn't say Ali turned his back on Joe, just that Joe took everything Ali said so personally, for a tough guy, Frasier sure was sensitive.

Many older boxers die a sad death, worsened by mental health issues. Ali is famous, Tyson is, both fucked up, one is already suffering... how many others are out there with no public cogniscance?

Even if he wasn't a great fighter(which he was), I'll always respect Frazier never glad handing Ali in the years after those fights, even after he was sick. Joe loved that he really tested Ali.

Because his dragged him out of hospice care and made him do it for some money.  He died only a few months later

Yes because frazier should take life seriously and write suicidal poetry instead. How dare he, he's 67.

Frazier was a warrior in the ring.......willing to take many shots just to land a good one in return.


By all accounts a great guy.
