    My god the way Joe picks the host up so effortlessly is amazing. I'm female but it literally looks like he dragged Cavett up by his groin at one point (he didn't look in pain) but that must have hurt or been uncomfortable . Frazier seems to be holding him in the air one handed at one point. Joe Frazier is my favourite boxer ever and It just shows the power he must have had in those punches against Ali that he can hold I'm guessing a 12 stone man up one handed

Thank God for videos, I got to see his vids since he was 14. Beautiful, fun, exciting man. I can watch him talk all day. Also Like a work of Art in the ring. Poetry in motion. My favorite Celebrity ever! There’ll never be another one. Never.
