I'm sure everyone is already aware, but we lost a boxing legend yesterday when "Smokin' Joe" Frazier passed away at the age of 67. Frazier is probably best remembered for his epic fights against Muhammad Ali, including the Thrilla in Manilla in 1975 during which the 2 nearly (and quite literally) boxed each other to death. Although I'm not a huge boxing fan, I know a champion when I see one. The world has lost a great one.

Joe Frazier - January 12, 1944 – November 7, 2011
He beat Clay but Clay was the marketing attraction. A real rope a dope! Smokin Joe was the man!! Thanks for remembering him.
