Joe Frazier ~ 1965 Article labeled him 'An Awkward Clumsy Bull'

[Bill Paxtom]

Of course Joe looked a bit clumsy when he got started.

He was a 'southpaw' that was converted to the orthodox stance.

And he originally got into to boxing to lose weight, not to make it a career.

Joe's weight was up to 230 lbs. when he was a teenager.

Did not know he was a southpaw.

That is what the so-called Boxing Experts said.

But, Joe wrote with his right-hand.

Some of the early Joe followers said, that Joe fought from the southpaw stance
because he was never taught proper technique when he first got started.
