Joe Frazier has died after a short battle with liver cancer. He was 67. The former two-time World Heavyweight Champion cemented his legacy in his epic fights with Muhammad Ali.
After he retired in the 80's he also was a special guest referee at NWA Starrcade'85 for Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes and he was in the corner of Mr. T when he fought Rowdy Roddy Piper at Wrestlemania 2 in a boxing match. He also made a special guest appearance in the original "Rocky" movie.
Joe Frazier was a hero in a time when boxing was the sport of kings. He will be greatly missed.
CNN has a great article on the champion that you can read at this LINK.
Class Dismissed,
The Professor
