JOE FRAZIER DEAD November 7, 2011

DOWNLOAD FREE GAMES & SOFTWARE http://bit.ly/tEty2v November 7, 2011 Joe Frazier, hard-striking boxing heavyweight who handed the legendary Muhammad Ali his first defeat, died Monday, soon after being identified with liver cancer, his family stated inside a statement.

The first kind heavyweight champion, who had been 67, grew to become a legend in the own right and personified the gritty working-class type of his hard-knuckled home town, Philadelphia -- an appropriate setting for that "Rocky" film series, starring Sylvester Stallone as hardscrabble boxer Rocky Balboa.

"You can hear him coming, snorting and grunting and puffing, just like a steam engine climbing a steep grade," Bill Lyon authored inside a Philadelphia Inquirer column about Frazier, nicknamed Smokin' Joe.

"He was swarming and unwavering, and that he prided themself he never required a backward step, and that he reduced the Sweet Science for this brutal little bit of elemental math: 'I'll allow you to struck me five occasions if you'll allow me to hit you simply once.'"

I didn't like Frazier as a person much, either, but I think he was better than Ali. Frazier struck me as a simple, hard-working man while Ali was a blabbermouthed fool trying to be the life of the party.
