The thought of Ali outliving him must drive Frazier crazy.

I had a nice talk with Joe at an awards ceremony in August. It had been a while since I've seen him and we chatted a while about some mutual acquaintances. He was in a wheel chair but still feisty.
This is very disheartening news.

Re: NY Post: Joe Frazier 'Deathly Ill'
Seriously. On the HBO documentary that is airing right now on the Thrilla in Manilla, his brother dialed his cell phone and his message took a few shots at Ali before saying to leave a message.
Ali was Ali. But Frazier was every bit the fighter, just not as colorful. It's sad that Ali got paid more for his part in those fights than Frazier and that Frazier is living out his life in a crappy room over his gym in the hellhole that is North Philly, and Ali sold every bit of naming rights he had for millions.
Ali will be remembered in a way that Frazier wasn't, and it's a shame, because they were equals as fighters.

HBO must've known this was coming because they played the Thrilla doc in the afternoon today.
RIP Smokin' Joe.
