Summary

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. From 1970 to 1973 he reigned. With a career record of 32-4-1 with twenty-seven knockouts and an Olympic gold medal, Frazier leaves little question that he was one of the greatest fighters of all time.

Well-known, loved, and revered as a gentleman and a fierce competitor in the ring, Joe Frazier speaks his mind in Smokin' Joe - about growing up poor and fighting in the first $2.5million bout; about the early days of his friendship with Muhammad Ali and how their relationship changed; and about the often corrupt world of boxing and what really went on inside and outside the ring.

Personable, good-natured, and funny, Frazier's story is a real delight.

What a inspiration and powerful book. Love to have met the guy, sounds like a real decent man. He’s Definitely in my top five all-time favourite boxers. It was great to learn about some of his fights and what he had to endure. RIP Joe

Turns out Joe was a nice guy and a good father, I didn't know much about him but things I thought I knew were totally wrong. Too many people talked s##t bout him.

A really insightful book about one of the greats, it's nice to hear about the Ali - Fraizer rivalry from Joe himself, in fact it might even change your views on him.

The narrato's voice is like warm Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows and a pleasure to listen to.
