Very sad day , RIP champ, you will be missed .
RIP Smokin Joe Frazier. In the face of unreasonable provocation you were calmness personified. You showed them scamboogahs who doubted you, you beat the greatest on both sides of the rope.
RIP Champ. Sad day.
Smokin Joe Frazier....it just kinda rolls of the tongue, still the best moniker that I have heard. You know I feel for Joe as his life was always in the shadow of Ali. To the day he died he never liked Ali and never really forgive him for things Ali said about him. The dislike he had for Ali went far beyond the boxing. To be fair to Ali. I don’t think he realised the damage his words did to Frazier and the deep scars they left on him. And I know for sure that Ali will be one the first people to speak highly of Frazier when the eulogies come out following his death. All we should remember him for was what he achieved in the boxing ring. He was a great fighter.
RIP Smokin Joe Frazier.
RIP champ.. You will be missed..
One of the true legends of boxing... Loved watching his old fights, sad sad lose. :(

Having experienced the loss of a loved from the the same condition, then my thoughts go out to Joe's family !
RIP 'Smokin' Joe, HOF'er a legend of the Sport ;)
What a sad day for boxing. A true warrior and gentleman outside it. I know it still somewhat bother him with what Ali said and did to him. Lets hope he finally finds some peace at last. RIP champ.
Rest easy Joe.
A true sporting legend, who's bravery and dignity was never equalled. Undeniably a great great fighter.
Don't worry Joe - your legend will haunt the heavyweights forever.

Very generous and gracious of him, lets hope they take advantage of his offer.
R.I.P Joe, you were the working class man's champion, you never took shortcuts and always went out there and fought your heart out, all the way till your last breath, more people could learn a thing or two from you, and I'm not talking only about fighters, IMO the greatest fighter to come out of Phillie, and you will always be remembered as the man who FIRST beat the great Ali, a true legend of the sport who was champion in the golden era of the heavyweight division, and with all of the accolades and no matter how big of a legend you are even when alive, you still managed to be a humble man walking amongst everyone else as if well you were just one of the crowd, God Bless you Joe and your family, you will be missed
RIP Champ.:eek:
Boxing has lost a great fighter & a great man.
It was a pleasure to watch Joe during boxing's greatest ever heavyweight era.
Condolences to the Frazier family also.:(
