ALI-FRAZIER, 50 years later - a podcast by Hillel Kuttler

JOE FRAZIER and MUHAMMAD ALI, two undefeated heavyweight champions, fought an epic championship bout at New York's Madison Square Garden on March 8, 1971. Frazier won in a unanimous decision. Boxing historian DON MAJESKI was there. He plots the men's paths to that fight and conveys the arena's electric atmosphere. "It was the best investment I ever made," he says of his $35 ticket. WEATTA FRAZIER COLLINS and JOE FRAZIER JR. speak lovingly of their late father and say that defeating Ali meant a lot to him. Their foundation aiding at-risk youth advances Frazier's legacy. "I believe," she says, "that our father is smiling down on us."
