description Portrait of Joe Frazier.&nbsp; From the John Wanamaker collection [2188] from their 100-year anniversary.&nbsp; Frazier was an American professional boxer, Olympic gold medalist and undisputed world heavyweight champion, whose professional career lasted from 1965 to 1976, with a one-fight comeback in 1981.&nbsp; Frazier was known for his sheer strength, durability, punch power and all-out relentless attack.&nbsp; He is one of only two boxers, the other being Ken Norton, to beat a prime Muhammad Ali.&nbsp; After retiring, Frazier made cameo appearances in several Hollywood movies, and two episodes of The Simpsons.&nbsp; His son Marvis became a boxer-trained by Frazier himself-but was unable to match his father&#39;s success.&nbsp; His daughter Jackie Frazier-Lyde also boxed professionally. Frazier continued to train fighters in his gym in Philadelphia.&nbsp; His later years saw periodic insults and bitter feelings towards Ali, interspersed with brief reconciliations.<br /> <br /> Photographer: Joseph Consentino
