Comments Thread For: Joe Frazier Statue Plans Are Now Back on Track

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Plans to erect a statue of Joe Frazier are back on track, two years after the former heavyweight champion's death.

Frazier's statue was scheduled to be erected next year at an entertainment complex near Philadelphia's three sports stadiums near the now demolished Spectrum, an arena where he fought.

But plans to place the tribute in the same complex that is already home to statues of basketball star Julius Erving and the Stanley Cup champion Broad Street Bullies were sidetracked when the sculptor, Lawrence J Nowlan, died in August.

In any event, I'm glad they are back on track this legend deserves this honorary tribute.

Let's do not forget that Joe Frazier graciously agreed to give Ali a comeback shot, while Ali was still denied a boxing licence...
