RIP 'Smokin' Joe Frazier

Post by Spitfire »

Bows out at 67 from Liver cancer today. The first man to beat Muhammad Ali in 1971.

Sad day for the boxing world.

RIP Smokin Joe.

Loved the way he boxed and what a show he put on against Ali.

Saw a movie/documentary on True just a couple of weeks ago about him and looking back Ali was a dick especially during the lead up to the last fight. Check the film trailer.
