Joe Frazier

I'm no fan of Boxing – actually I think the sport should be banned – but it is what it is.

Frazier died of liver cancer yesterday.

The semi-retired NY Times sports columnist Dave Anderson – who is 82 years old - has a very nice column today about Frazier.  

Some people mean more together than they do apart, whatever the stage. Churchill and Hitler. Bogart and Bacall. Ali and Frazier. And for all the deserved accolades for Muhammad Ali, I’ve always believed that each at his best, Joe Frazier, who died Monday night at age 67, was the better fighter. And the better man.
