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!
