R.I.P Joe Frazier

[twenty six]

Law,
I deliberately avoided the hate word mate, and know you put it in inverted commas.
I sincerely hope whatever the truth about that time is / was, that he is at peace with himself.
I'll be getting the old vids out - just love to watch this hero fight.

RIP to a boxing legend, one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and true ambassador to the sport.

Thoughts are with Smokin Joes family.

R.I.P Smoking Joe

Has anyone had the misfortune of reading the Evening Standard 'recollection' of the Ali v Frazier fights.Embarrassingly biased towards Ali. 1st fight: 'Ali slowed down because of the 3 years he had out'. Methinks body shots had something to do with that mate

Anyways,a true legend in every sense of the word

[hurlock]

he will be sadly missed :!:

i believe there is a real life film that was released last week by a british director with joe singing my way in it.

trully amazing warrior

A great loss to our sport, God Bless CHAMP, RIP.

Rather we should thank God that such men lived".

I have often wondered how many heavyweights in history could have thrown a left hook in the fifteenth round of such a gruelling fight as Frazier did against Ali. Perfectly executed, arm cocked just so, pivoting at the hips and his entire bodyweight driving though the punch. It’s a damn short list.

Just as short is the list of heavyweights that would have got back up.

I am sure that Ali feels the loss more than most and my condolences go out to both their families.

Rest in peace Champ
