10 ft Joe Frazier statue is being made

Shame it took so long. They've had a statue of a make believe guy- Rocky Balboa- for years.

Very cool.

Would have been better if they had done it while Joe was alive. It's a shame we tend to wait until people are dead before we appreciate them.

Better late than never, though. Well deserved. Cheers to Smokin' Joe!

People are strange they prefer fiction to fact.

FINALLY. Way overdo...and as mentioned...an absolute shame Joe isn't alive to see it. It's disgraceful that they have had a Rocky statue...but couldn't pay the proper respect to a true Philly legend until now.

Nice, and they can make a Muhammad Ali one right beside it that has him holding up 2-1 on his fingers with a big grin.

The Artist has captured him brilliantly. I love Joe and Don't mind admitting that had me choked. Can not wait until they cast it. Fitting tribute to a giant of a man who kept his dignity while those around him gave it up.

I think when Joe was alive he thought he was a forgotten champion, and didn't get his dues,
this should of happened a long time ago.

That is awesome work, props to the artist. Agree that it would have been a better touch to do it years ago while Frazier was alive. Still, much better late than never, they should put him right across from the Balboa statue, just glaring at it
