| R.I.P. Joe Frazier Joe Frazier, former heavyweight champion, dead at 67 - ESPN R.I.P. Just read an article on ESPN about fans willing to donate a kidney, but apparently he didn't want it. Hopefully he went peacefully. |

| Re: R.I.P. Joe Frazier I have seen a couple of his fights with Ali on history/sports channels. Epic. Amazing fighter from an era of amazing fighters. RIP.

| Re: R.I.P. Joe Frazier Though i cant pretend to know the Bogart and Bacall refference and i was lost towards the end of Anderson's peice the first paragraph summed it up perfectly for me: Quote:
The Frazier/Ali frights were really the last of the great fights. The classics that you can watch are so much better then the fights you can see nowadays and i think current boxing is still living off of the legacy of pre 1980's boxing. I understand why they stopped allowing 15+ round matches but boxing has suffered greatly since title fights were reduced to 12. What those guys did back in the day was amazing.

| Re: R.I.P. Joe Frazier Joe was my man when I was a kid. Boxing back in the day was an event. None were bigger than Joe and Ali. I was very sad to hear of his passing..... Rip Smokin' Joe.......
