Reports say smoking Joe is seriously ill with liver cancer.very sad hopefully he pulls through
If anyone can mount a recovery Joe can. Often misunderstood and badly treated by Ali and the press alike the guy deserves a break. Get well soon Big Man. You can beat this Scamboogah
Hope his warrior spirit can help him pull through. Very sad news fingers crossed for a true boxing icon .
Damn, so sad to hear.
"He’s in serious shape, we’re looking for a miracle," a source close to the former heavyweight champ told The New York Post. "They’re only giving him a short time to live. We need to have as many people as possible praying for Joe right now."
Smokin' Joe Frazier reportedly battling liver cancer - News | FOX Sports on MSN
terrible . i'll be praying for him
I hope he can mount a recovery it's veary sad.
a true warrior. sad news. fuck ali, and i live in louisville!
Get well soon Joe, please.
The Ultimate Boxing hard man can beat anything!
I just saw this. He only has a few days.
One of the bravest, fiercest and ultimately finest fighters of the last 50 years.
A legend in his own time.
Smokin' Joe Frazier, a man's man.
Huge Frazier fan, always liked him over Ali...
Here's to hoping he overcomes this. I just read that he's in hospice care, though, fuck!
This is indeed sad news, Frazier gave us 3 classic fights with Ali. The Thriller In Manila is arguably the greatest Heavyweight fight of all time. No one should doubt his representation in the Hall Of Fame or his standing as a great Heavyweight Champion. We all pray for Smokin' Joe Frazier.
Hope he pulls through
Damn, I'm sad to hear that. One of the true greats of boxing. What's even sadder, though, is that if he does pass on... he will have never forgiven Ali for his taunts during their fighting years, and it's never a good thing to carry a grudge to your grave.
hospice.. that means they are just trying to keep him comfortable. God bless u Joe
Hospice is where you go to die humanly, they should take care of him there, apparently there's nothing else that can be done. I read that Frazier just found about the cancer 4-5 weeks ago, by that time it must have already been too late.
Sad shit, I hope he's not in any pain, he had enough of that during his lifetime.
Sad news. Good luck on your journey Joe. You certainly made your mark in this world. Thank you for the great fights. The true definition of a warrior, a true gladiator, and one of the greastest in history. Good luck in the next realm my friend
I know. But I remember watching a TV show not too long ago where they were interviewing Frazier... and he still sounded bitter. He didn't come out and say it, but it almost sounded like he didn't feel sorry at all for Ali's condition. And I'm not blaming Frazier... he DID take a lot of verbal abuse from Ali back in those days. I actually felt sad for Frazier seeing that interview. Had he been able to truly forgive Ali, after all these years, it probably would've been good for him in a liberating type of way.
An absolute legend of the sport, and one of the finest fighters of all time. A top dog in the most competitive era in heavyweight boxing history. Born in racist grinding poverty, married young, worked in rubbish jobs, Olympic gold medallist, undefeated undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, winner of the Superfights ...... one of the bravest, toughest fearless men who have ever stepped into the ring.
Someone go to that hospice and count ten next to his bed - he'll get up.
Liver cancers unfortunately rarely forgive, I hope him well and to be well surrounded for the 11th hour. Hope you can pull a miracle, smoking one.
Ali was trying to make them both money and sell the fight with those taunts, but obviously during those intense periods with the race issues uncle tom will never go down to well!
