Apart from his family, the man who will miss him the most is Muhammad Ali his great rival. Their third fight- The Thriller in Manilla is probably the greatest and most brutal fight of all time. Well, he will be remembered as one of the greatest boxers of all time- no doubts about that.

R.I.P Joe Frazier, the strongest head grigidi mordaforker to step in the ring - with a left hook many tried to copy but could not replicate.

Negros like Mike Tyson got their whole style from Smokin' Joe.

REST IN PEACE.
Smokin'Joe-one of the baddest Mutha fvckers to ever step into a boxing ring.His fights with Muhammed Ali and George Foreman were stuff of which legends were made.
Never ran away from a good fight always coming forward,no matter how much punishment he took or dished out.
D.amn I miss the good old days!
Muhammed Ali.
Joe frazier.
George Foreman.
Sugar Ray Leonard.
Marvin Hagler.
Tommy Hearns.
Roberto Duran.

Goddam.n when I see the clowns that pass for boxers today I feel like crying.
Dam.n I miss the good ol'days
Once again RIP!

@richvkunt. i like your list but y dint u put

BASH ALI?
Re: Joe Frazier Former Boxing Heavyweight Champion Passes On by Nobody: 4:56am On Nov 09, 2011
The Thilla on Manila is perhaps the greatest fight in the heavyweight division of all time.
I think Ali reached his absolute peak in that battle and was never he same again.
Limaoscar:

Smoking Joe still had an axe to grind with Ali, we'll miss him.
Ali called Frazier a "white man's champion" in the build-up to the Fight of the Century" (ali-Frazier I).
Ali just returned from being inactive due to refusing to be drafted and in the process Frazier became champ.Frazier took exception to that comment and it's responsible for the state of their relationship till Joe died.
R.I.P. Joe Frazier
