Great Olympic & World Champion, plus he lived and ran his gym in Philadelphia.
Frazier vs Ali fights were epic.
Mr. Frazier's 1971 win over Ali at Madison Square Garden was his crowning achievement.
"He said if I whipped him that night, he would get on his knees, crawl across the ring, and say: 'You are the greatest,' " Frazier said. "But he didn't do that. I think he was trying to get to the hospital."

I've seen the bike.
Bob Jackson reconditioned it for him.
I've got a dodgy story about that too... :)
Well?!
I was in Bob Jackson's earlier - I wish I'd seen this so I could have asked!

He was getting that Viking bike reconditioned, so he could go out riding on it with the old blokes.
It was in lovely nick, full Osgear groupset, original ToB race number, etc.So when he came to pick the bike up he had a 'friend' with him.
His 'friend' was a teenage lad, gay as a yellow duster, absolutely screaming. He was fawning all over Sir Jim.
Jimmy says to Don (owner of BJ's) that he doesn't want the race number on the bike, asks him to take it off.
Don tries to undo the tiny screw on the attaching clip but can't get hold of it.
Jim's 'friend' scampers up.
"Stop messing about, sausage fingers! Come here, I'll loosen your nuts for you! Heeheeheehee!"
Jim's friend loosens the clip, Jim wags his cigar and says 'how's about that' a few times, then swaggers out with the bike, the twink draped over him.Don was somewhat shocked.
So it seems that Jim had a taste for chicken.
Nowt wrong with that, I suppose, but there you go. -

I thought Jim's predilection for a young lad was common knowledge.
