RIP Joe. You were always one of my favorites. Say hi to Rocky Marciano for me.

A great HBO documentary on Frazier a while back revealed he was almost totally blind in one eye. If it had been known, he would not have been allowed to box.

But that’s why he always bobbed his head from side to side, to avoid the punches he couldn’t see coming at him. Incredible warrior.

A generation continues to pass before our eyes.

Rest in Peace Smokin’ Joe. You were truly among the greats.

I don’t care what anyone says, Frazier was a better man than Ali. Ali might have been the better boxer, but Frazier was the better man.

I remember hoping Joe would deck the loud-mouthed muzzie. Moohammed was awarded several fights that he didn’t really win and he was also allowed to clinch and hold the back of his opponents’ head way too many times.

Just saw the tail end of the documentary of the Thrilla in Manila yesterday. Couldn’t believe the amount of punishment both men took. Frazier still hated Ali until the day he died.
