Smokin' Joe Frazier

As you probably know, Joe Frazier, the former heavyweight champ, died last night. Back in the day, in 1996 or 1997, I went out to Philadelphia to do a story on Frazier. I really liked Frazier—he was a prince of a man—so I thought I'd share the story I wrote: Still Swinging.

The famed artist Ed Paschke painted this
picture of Frazier to be used as the lead
illustration in my story. This is a copy of it,
which hangs in my basement.
