Great heavyweight champion dead at the age of 67. He will always be remembered for his epic fights with Muhammad Ali.

RIP.

I was "cheering" for Ali, through all three fights. That being said, the end of the SPORTSCENTER tribute this evening was, "In loss, he honored himself".

Yep!

Within the shadows, go quietly.

I was cheering for smokin Joe through all three fights...I was to young to understand what Ali was doing for both men during the pre fight stunts...Just building the hype to sell tickets. I will always remember Joe Frazier when talking about the great fighters of our time. REST IN PEACE JOE.

Government doesn't fix anything and has spent trillions proving it!!!
Let's face it...After Monday and Tuesday, even the calender says WTF!

For the young people who don't know what a real heavyweight fight is check out the "Thrilla in Manilla" the best heavyweight fight ever. And I was cheering for Smokin Joe on all three fights also. Rest in peace Joe.

I never liked Ali the Draft Dodger, before, during and after that incident. Was also rooting for Smoking Joe in all three fights.
AND THE BEST ONE WAS WHEN ALI FOUGHT KEN NORTON AND NORTON BROKE ALI'S JAW.

My hats off to Smokin Joe...Your right on about the draft dodger...only in America.
They both have been punch drunk for the last 20 years.

That was when boxing was worth watching. According to most experts; Smokin Joe had the best left hand ever. I cannot imagine how electric it must have been the night of the first fight in Madison Square Garden.

The man is a legend and was only beat by two fighters; Foreman and Ali.

Rest in peace.

Fitting, since Ken Norton was Marine. 63 - 67.

Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?
