Frazier should be idolized in Philadelphia, not Rocky

Abstract:
One man, a boxing legend, has come to symbolize the grimy work ethic of our city. His relentlessness, his heart and the gutsy nature in which he clawed his way to the top have become a symbol for this blue collar town.

He is immortalized by a magnificent statue outside of one of the city's most prominent sporting arenas

That man is not Joe Frazier....

Mr. Martin, I am a stone sculptor and am currently trying to organize funding for just such a statue.

I am working on creating a 30foot cut out of Joe Frazier to sit behind the Rocky statue. I am a graduate student at Uarts and believe Smokin-Joe needs to be vindicated. If you want to help especially with being at the open, don't hesitate to contact me.
