RIP "Smokin' Joe Frazier.

Another one of the greats bites the dust.

Liver cancer at 67.

RIP Joe.

Live here in the Delaware Valley area and this is really a tragic loss. Joe was a wonderful human being and one heck of a boxer!

R.I.P. Smoking Joe

I love smok'en Joe.

In my fitness room I have a signed photo of him and Muhammed Ali....the punch landing on Ali's jaw; everyone ringside....... incredible photo. The Ali - Frazier fights were some of the greatest ever.
