“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonMarvis ෆ්රසියර් පවසයි, “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 beatමුහම්මද් අලි 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, සැලැස්මක් සකස් කිරීමේ 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. විවෘත කිරීමේ වටයේ දී, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (ඕස්ට්රේලියාව) in the quarterfinals.

“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.”
ෆ්රසියර් (32-4-1, 27 Kos) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofමුහම්මද් අලි, ජිමී එලිස් (දෙවරක්), බොබ් ෆොස්ටර්, Oscar Bonavena(දෙවරක්), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, ඩග් ජෝන්ස්, Eddie Machen හාජෝර්ජ් Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.
