Sad to hear of the death of ex heavyweight champion "Smokin'"Joe Frazier at the age of 67, losing his battle against liver cancer.
He will always be remembered for his epic battles against Muhammed Ali, the first of which saw him inflict a first defeat on Ali.

I agree Bob, it is very sad.
I don't follow boxing in any detail, but I was also also sorry when Henry Cooper died in May of this year - two great boxing legends gone in one year. I didn't think Muhammed Ali would outlive both of them once he became so infirm.

Re: Boxing

Another legend gone...RIP Joe...

Muhammed Ali looked very frail on the news the other night....but he's still here 'fighting the good fight'!

Re: Boxing

Very sad news indeed Bob, I remember that fight with Ali. A great sportsman gone. R.I.P.

Re: Boxing

Frightening to think just how long ago those epic fights were but Joe has left us far too soon.

RIP Joe, bobbin and weaving to a different sound now.

Re: Boxing

Not a "sport" I follow, but always sad to lose a legend. RIP, Joe.

Re: Boxing

Another sporting legend gone to the big ring in the sky.....
