‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier loses his battle against liver cancer

Joe Frazier, one of the biggest sports icons of the 1960s and 70s,  passed away tonight from liver cancer at the age of 67. He was diagnosed less than six weeks ago and spent his final days in a Philadelphia-area hospice.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Joe was a class act.
The 3 fights with Ali were some of boxing's greatest.

One other fight I remember was his fight with Foreman. He was pummeled. I remember Foreman's punches literally lifted him off the ground.

His style wasn't real suited to fight a Foreman. But his heart was huge

He was a bull and not a trash talker.

R.I.P. Joe.

PS-I call that other guy Cassius, I don't recognize cult names if I can avoid it!
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
