Comments Thread For: Muhammad Ali Speaks Out: I'm Praying For Joe Frazier

[Larry the boss]

hope Joe pulls thru

wtf, comedian said yesterday that he passed away. If Smoking Joe is still alive and comedian made a false statement about a ATG like that than he should be perma banned and I'm serious.

Props to Ali for showing respect to a rival that gave us one of the greatest trilogy's ever.

Comedian made that thread in good faith: He was reporting something that had leaked out on Twitter and has since been retracted by the original source as a false alarm.

I'm still not quite clear if "our" Joe Frazier is well, or is the subject of the report that he is in a Ho****e with liver cancer. It is possible that he IS in the Ho****e, but that the report of his death, prompted by the Ho****e report, might actually have been referring to the "other" Joe Frazier, who actually died in Feb.

I must say, however, I wrote to one of our better known BoxingScene article writers about a year ago saying I'd thought for a long time that he looked very emaciated and unwell, and was wondering if he has some debilitating disease. The reply was that he didn't know, that there had been no report of any..........etc.
