Esau. Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Joe Frazier, Ex-Heavyweight Champ, Dies at 67Joe Frazier, the former heavyweight champion whose furious and intensely personal fights with a taunting Muhammad Ali endure as an epic rivalry in boxing history, died Monday night. He was 67. His business representative, Leslie Wolff, told The Associated Press in early November that Frazier had liver cancer and that he had entered hospice care. 3 Page article: http://www.nytimes.com/joe-frazier-ex-heavyweight-champ-dies-at-67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Joe was awesome. A tireless warrior and a class act in the ring and entertaining character out of it. One of the all-time greats. Sad news indeed. Look at how much he had in the tank during the last 4 rounds in the first Ali fight, dubbed "Fight of the Century": A little CanCon. Fuck George was tough as hell, and a better technical boxer than you'd think: Edited November 8, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 "Frazier, at 5 feet 11 1/2 inches and 205 pounds, gave up three inches in height and nearly seven inches in reach to Ali"wow, that's pretty significant, esp the reach, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
