TODAY IN HISTORY, JANUARY 22: THE BOXING WORLD IS STUNNED WHEN HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION SMOKIN JOE FRAZIER GETS SMOKED BY CHALLENGER GEORGE FOREMAN, 1973! The world watched with utter amazement as in the first round of the Heavy Weight Title fight Howard Cosell shouted from ringside: Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!! Down goes Frazier!!! Two of the greatest heavy-weights of the 20th century went toe-to-toe; and the bigger, more powerful man won handily. No one in 1973 could guess that the looming monster that so manhandled the champ, mighty Joe Frazier, would go on to lose his title in less than two years in Zaire to another legendary boxer: Muhammed Ali. Nor that this same George Foreman would one day be reincarnated as the amiable ad man hocking BBQ grills! https://youtube/watch?v=W9q7mvc6bsY
