Joe Frazier passes away at 67

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.

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.

I did wonder what ya were on about till i read the bit on Yahoo on what Mayweather said:
"Condolences go out to the family of the late great Joe Frazier. The Money Team will pay for funeral services." - WBC world welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr, posted to his Twitter account.
Boxing world pays tribute to Frazier - Yahoo! Eurosport

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
