Listen "5. Smokin' Joe: The Life of Joe Frazier"
Episode Synopsis
Two heavyweight titans Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier fight for the 2nd time in their trilogy, with Ali winning the rematch. Mark Kram, Sr. covered the fight for Sports Illustrated 50 years ago, but it's his son, Mark Kram, Jr. who wrote the book on Joe Frazier... literally. The author of Smokin' Joe: The Life of Joe Frazier joins us to discuss this great time in boxing history, what it meant when Frazier would give some 'love' and where Mike Tyson would have ranked with the heavyweights from back in the day.
