RIP Smoking Joe.

If you can get hold of the doco made by HBO called "Thrilla in Manila" do yourself a favour and watch it. One of the best sport doco's i have ever seen.

Thriller In Manila

Yeah definately - its a great history of boxing during that time. Its not just focused on the fight.

 

[Jaames]

Thriller In Manila is a pretty good watch, even though it does feature the most overrated Boxer of all time.

Last night I was at my buddys place ... we were actually talking about Joe Frazier outside ... then my friend came out of the house and said hey the tv says Joe Frazier died ... It's such a damn shame. Never got any respect. First guy to beat Muhammad Ali In the "Fight of the Century" ... Should have won that second fight against Ali as well. He was a true soldier. And I actually just got done reading his Autobiography. He was a good man; It's a sad day. RIP Smokin Joe.
