Lewis Glenn - Sparring With Smokin Joe Joe Frazier's Epic Battles And Rivalry With Ali - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Just in time for the fiftieth anniversary of The Fight of the Century (Ali Frazier I) Sparrin with Smokin Joe provides a penetrating at times brutally candid look at legendary champion Joe Frazier. While the more flamboyant media - accessible Ali continues to receive the lion's share of the ink on their epic rivalry Glenn Lewis rectifies that imbalance by focusing on the man whose ferocious fighting spirit enabled Ali to be viewed as truly great. Based on several months Lewis spent in the gym on the road and in verbal tussles with the Frazier as part of his inner circle in 1980, the book includes compelling never - before - heard anecdotes that give new insight into Frazier and make readers reevaluate their impressions of Ali. Lewis argues that Joe actually won their second fight and even questions whether the wrong man got the mantle as The Greatest.
