Joe Frazier was born in Beaufont, South Carolina. 12th January 1944. Frazier earned the nickname “Smokin” Joe by his perpetual motion two-fisted style of boxing. He became the World Heavyweight champion in the forced absence of Ali. Frazier beat Jimmy Ellis for the undisputed championship and the successfully defended against Ali. He then fought George Foreman as a “warm-up” fight for a return against Ali, but was down 5 times before being stopped in the second round. Frazier had 2 more fights against Ali and lost both times. He made a comeback in 1976 against Foreman but once again lost. Another comeback attempt in 1981 against “Jumbo” Cummings showed that “Smokin” Joe’s fire had finally gone out.
