Really sorry to hear that one of the greatest and bravest boxers ever to get in the ring, Joe Frazier has been diagnosed with liver cancer and is now in a hospice.
'Legend' does get over used in sports these days, but at a time when the heavyweights really where the 'kings of the world', smokin' Joe stands up there with the best.
What i've seen, the heavyweight divisons for a long, long time, with a few exception,Tyson, Holyfield, Holmes, would have had the fright and fights of their lives had they had to tangle with the life and times of Frazier.
It really is a shame that amongst the vast, vast majority of people he is not held in the same esteem as Muhammed Ali and for me it's a shame, if understandable, that smokin' Joe still feels a great deal of bitterness towards him...
Maybe the 15th, final round, (old school), might see genuine reconciliation, but that's probably too late for Ali to notice....
