Rest in peace champ. No one will ever forget what you've done in your career.

Philly should make a statue in honor of Joe Frazier.

The quote below is taken from poster demigawd from another forum. It's just outstanding and shows what a fine human being Joe Frazier was:

I was talking to a friend of mine who is connected to the Frazier family, and he told me this funny little anecdote about Frazier while he was in hospice care.

When it became clear his condition was terminal and no other options were available to him, Frazier shook his head, then suddenly started uncontrollably laughing. His family, confused and in absolute grief, asked what was so funny.

"I'm just angry that sonuva***** is actually gonna end up outliving me. This was Futch's idea, I know it"

Everyone there fell silent, then burst into laughter along with him as they all knew immediately whom he was talking about.

God bles his soul. A great man, never cocky, never arrogant. A humble, blue collar fighter. Rest in Peace Smokin Joe.

That's exactly what I would expect Joe Frazier to say too.
