RIP 'Smokin' Joe Frazier

[Jodah]

For those who haven't heard 'Smokin' Joe Frazier lost his battle with cancer. He was a boxing icon in the 60s and 70s and was the first man to defeat Muhammad Ali. Lost a great one with him.

(Anyone who trolls will be reported. If you don't care that he died, don't post.)

Truely one of the alltime greats.

It would be rather ironic if they cremated him.

Thanks to Ali he's definitely one of the most under-appreciated Sports figures of the 20th Century. RIP Joe

I always feel a degree of sympathy for people who have the misfortune to come up against, and be second to, once in a century talents in sports.
