Joe Frazier passes
 

:(

Boy,he was as tough as they come in a tough man's league.Was a good guy too, from what I have read.

He was tough. My Dad liked him and that alone says a lot about him.

Sadly, the Big C doesn't care how tough you are sometimes.

Rest In Peace Smokin' Joe.

Good stuff.



Ali wasn't the nicest guy to him back then, but I understand Frazier gave him like 50 large when he got fleeced by King.

Always in tremendous shape,too.....his style was relentless.I think he really loved what he did.

Not that long...shows the last round of the Ali fight that Frazier won.Notice his face at the start...Frazier's....and how much smaller than Ali he was, yet he still kept coming.


He broke Ali's jaw that round if I remember right.Think you can see the swelling is pretty obvious later in the round.

Sorry to hear this news too.:(

A little long, but the first half is enough to see.


You see the battering Frazier's face had taken..and he takes all the more in that last round.Not that Ali didn't have heart...Frazier just had more.He kept fighting until he had nothing left.Just like my Father.
