...and down goes Frazier!

Too soon? But not yet? I'm confused.

40 years, not too soon.

I’ve written at length about Joe Frazier in the past and will do so again in the future. For now, a few words on his passing.

Frazier fought with an intensity, determination, and pride seldom seen in the sometimes glorious, sometimes ignominious, history of boxing.

Anyone remember his Miller Lite commercial? He was a singer. It was pretty good.

In his day, he was a bad MFer. No one talks much about Frazier's career because Mohammed (sp.?) Ali was an attention *****, and pretty much overshadowed every other boxer's career of that time period.

Anyway, Frazier was one of the best fighters of all time, probably even in the top 5. If Frazier had been a boxer in recent decades, he would have been a long time champion. I think he is probably better than every heavyweight champion we have seen since Mike Tyson.

Joe Fraziier was the man! But after Tyson, Evander Holyfield (beat Tyson 2 times) and Lennox Lewis (beat tyson 1 time) were also bad MFers!

In fairness, pretty much everything Ali said, he backed up.

Frazier was from a time when boxing was huge (before idiots like Don King ruined it).

I remember those days, and Frazier :(
