Joe Frazier fighting for his life.

[BattlingNelson]

Awful news. Keep fighting champ.

He has long been the embodiment of what boxing is truly about for me and surely for many others. If he passes, a part of the sport does as well.

Damn, liver cancer. I hope the doctors are wrong about the amount of time he has left.

If Joe is suffering than I'd rather he go quickly. At least that's what I would want for myself or a loved one. The final days of cancer are too unpleasant to even discuss.

I recieved some false information about Frazier and posted my thread without double checking.


Please stop bumping my RIP thread. I didnt know!!!

Tell me about it. I've seen it first hand up close and personal.

If he's in a lot of pain, then yeah, absolutely Scott. I just have a family member that was written off for dead by the doctors (and his wife) over 25 years ago, with prostate cancer and he's still going strong at 87 next month.

I'm deeply saddened by the news. I hope he can pull through, but if not then God rest his soul.

yeah but this is the kind if sht im talking about. ali gets all the commercials,movies, and recognition. while joe is just forgotten. look at this ali ad on tv. he cant even speak. but they prop him up there with starlets while he just sits there and shakes. couldn't they have done the same for joe?

The same reason they would choose someone like Michael Jordan over Charles Barkley. Ali was the better athlete therefore gets more attention, and rightfully so.
