How Many Fighting Fraziers Were There?

I know of Joe Frazier (obviously), Marvis Frazier, and Jacqui Frazier-Hyde (or whatever). Was Larry Frazier related? What ever happened to Joe Frazier Jr? Any other fighters in the Frazier clan?

Also, who is Joe Frazier training at the moment?

In the pros there was Marvis, Joe jr and Rodney as far as I can remember... Rodney was another heavyweight I think. Joe jr was pretty good to watch and fought like his father, but didn't have the power to get to world class. Larry Frazier wasn't related I don't think....

im not sure but i know if you look at older fighters like jack johnson or sullivan, jeffries, corbett.. you will often see guys who name themselves young corbett or jackjohnson II ..its probly just a way to get some recognition... hell even james j braddock had his name changed from James Walter Braddock to James J. Braddock. the j was suppose to mimic the earlier greats who had the name james j ___ .. (jeffries..corbett)

Yes thats true... there were several fighters that named themselves after Joe Gans for instance... a few of them were actually outstanding fighters in their own right.... through not to the extent of the original Gans who is probably one of the top 3 lightweights of all time...
