Joe Frazier

Joe Frazier passed away last night.  Watching him and Muhammed Ali go at it decades ago was some of the most thrilling competition I can remember.  This begs the obligatory question tho:

I’m a Kentucky boy, I’m biased. Regardless tho, boxing has not been quite the same since those two monsters went at it in the 70′s.  One or the other might argue to be the “greatest”, but they were both the greatest in my book in the excitement they brought to their sport.
