Joe Frazier 'Fight of the Century' Ivory Thermal

"[Cassius] Clay's a big guy, but I’ve fought big guys before. Movers, too. He says I won't reach him, but that's a broad statement. He will find the ring will get smaller and I will get bigger. I don't see the job taking more than 10 rounds…"

It ended up going the full 15. What a night.

March 8, 1971. Champion versus champion. Heavyweights. Boxing at its apex. A who’s who of stars were out, and the world was holding its breath. Joe Frazier didn’t like Muhammad Ali, who was his exact opposite in very possible way — outspoken, audacious, attention seeking. Ali didn’t like Frazier, whom many saw as indestructible. It was boxing’s great moment of truth, and it lived up to its name: “The Fight of the Century.”

Never forget! Throwing back to one of boxing’s all-time events, the Fight of the Century, and the champion who emerged with his hand raised, Smokin’ Joe Frazier!
