Rest in peace Joe Frasier, used to love watching that golden rea of boxing.

Quote,

""Joe Frazier was the most amazing fighter. He never stood any more than 5ft 9in, some say 5ft 10in, but he was not that tall. Every big man in boxing was afraid of little guys.

"He was such a terror. Muhammad Ali and George Foreman were big guys but when we went in the ring with Joe Frazier, we had to have respect.

"I hoped I never had to fight him. He wouldn't back down. If you hit him, he liked it."

I think it is very sad that his passing has not been reported that much, if his most famous adversary had died there would no doubt be endless tributes . An amazing athlete the likes of which we probably will not see again R.I.P Joe
