Yeah me too.....The scenes of him as an old man in his run down Philadelphia Gym, looking to re-live the glory days gets me. Long live Smokin' Joe.

I was lucky to have started my boxing career in his gym back in '77. He still used to work out now and then which was always fun to watch. That gym was full of ATG's and I learned a lot just by watching them. Joe was always cool to me at the gym and also when I would meet him outside the gym at other boxing shows or events.
Nice video. RIP Joe.

If Springsteen released this again with this video, number one right there. One of the most moving tributes I have seen and that song is almost written for Frazier.

Fantastic triubute to a great man & a great fighter.

Gone too soon, Champ.

That was really good thanks for posting the link.
