Had one of the best left hooks to date. An innovator and trail blazer.

thats too bad...

i was just watching old clips of his and ali's lil spat... poor frasier wanted to just reach out and murder ali at those confrences and yet he showed amazing restraint imo.


he was mos def one of the all time greatest. and was always one of my personal fav's. right up there with jack johnson and marciano on my list of favs...
