Won the Heavyweight title after Muhammad Ali was dispossed of the championship for refusing induction into the US Armed Services (actually, I believe the such put him into -long term- litigation.....). Solidified claim on title when he took Jimmy Ellis (WBA reigning titleist) apart at M.S.G. and then participated in the at the time highest purses boxing match (2.5 mil., ea.) with the returning Muham.Ali -winning- in what was billed as "The Fight of the Century" (and, in most folks minds, -truly was that-). The Ali match came in 71. Frazier was a truly tremendous and "Great...." champion. When he lost the title in such "shocking" form with George Foreman, in Jamaca, the average citzen on the street was rocked and shocked to their -socks-. He came back..fought Ali in two more matches losing ea. however, their third battle, known as "The Thriller in Manilla" is recognized as an all-time-great -contest-//Joe Frazier is yet living and reported in good health. he lives in Philadelphia and has a very famous boxing gym, there. Career: Ali beat him twice; and Foreman beat him, twice. No one else ever could though, he did have a late age comeback draw with a low-medium commodity (historically) named Jumbo Cummings (in one of Joe Frazier's books he calls that meeting a 'win', but...it was a 'draw', officially)
