It was the goal of the 'Left-Wing Media' to portray Smokin' Joe Frazier as the white man's fighter.

Smokin' Joe was labeled as fighting for the U.S. Government.

But Mr. Frazier wasn't into politics.

Joe Frazier >

"This is a fight for the World Heavyweight Championship. Nothing more, nothing less. For me,
there are no politics that are involved here."

"I don't care where Muhammad stands on any political issue. I'm a professional fighter. After
I win, I will be the same guy. There are no 'phony-isms' with me."

"I have no baggage that I bring in the Ring with me. It's just me and my '2' fists. I'm no
Sonny Liston, who had more trouble in his closet than the 'Titanic' sitting ripped apart in
the North Atlantic." Or Floyd Patterson, who was a 'porcelain' China Doll, with cracks everywhere."

"This time, Muhammad is in for a fight."
