RIP Joe Frazier. Thanks for the memories of when heavyweight boxing was relevant.
I can still remember sitting in the dorm and listening to the "Thrilla in Manilla" on the radio.

There is a pattern developing. Its announced through the media that someone has a particular ailment (cancer, dementia, stroke) and the person is "making a public statement" thanking their fans and that they are in hospice care or long-term care. A week later the person passes.

Smokin' Joe was one of my all-time favorite fighters. Even when he fought George Foreman and took an incredible beating, he was always moving forward. And he could sing too....

It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.
