Joe Frazier seriously ill

[TitoFan]

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.

I could be wrong but I think he did forgive Ali, as much as he was able to. You know Tito, there's some things in life you never forget or forgive, that's just the way it is.

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.
