His goals in boxing had been met and he was emotionally no longer in the game.

Nancey, the fact that Frazier did continue would suggest that he believed his goals in boxing had not been met.

Do you ever think before you post?

Giancarlo has a point.

Like the proverbial stopped clock...right on occasion.

It's hard to give up the limelight.

The 'Smokin Joe Musical Revue' with the 'Knockouts' fell of the musical charts.

The $5000 per Weekend Night 'gigs' were no more by the end of 1971.

'Smokin Joe and the Knockouts' were un-bookable,,,,,,,,,, even on Cruise Ship Packages.
They must've really been garbage.
