Sad news. I am too young to have seen him fight live, but I have seen and heard stories of he and Mohammed Ali and The Thrilla in Manilla, etc. He will be missed.Frazier, who died Monday night after a brief battle with liver cancer at the age of 67, will forever be linked to Ali. But no one in boxing would ever dream of anointing Ali as "The Greatest" unless he, too, was linked to Smokin' Joe.
