Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.
“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonMarvis Frazier рече, “we’d like to thank the USA Boxing Alumni Association for remembering Joe Frazier. Honoring him like this will introduce to him to new generations of boxing fans.
“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatМухамед Али in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”
Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, составувањето на 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.
When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierBuster Mathis was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.
Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. Во колото за отворање, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Уганда), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Австралија) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Русија) во полуфиналето, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.
Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, наспротиHans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.
“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”
Frazier (32-4-1, 27 КО) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofМухамед Али, Џими Елис (два пати), Боб Фостер, Oscar Bonavena(два пати), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Даг Џонс, Eddie Machen иЏорџ Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.
Listed at only 5-11 Ѕ, Frazier was best known for his bobby, weaving, relentless pressure and liver-damaging left hook. He passed away November 7, 2011 due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 67.
“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedКрис Куliари, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring. We look forward to honoring his legacy as a Hall of Famer on December 13та."
