    Id rather be alone to be honest but each to their own. Lets hope Joe can last a while longer yet

    I'm sorry man, and I know how you feel. Frazier is an icon to my generation of boxing fans. He retired a little before I really got into the sport, but you still watched all the old fights replayed on Wide World of Sports. And I was a diehard by the time he came back in '81 to fight Cummings. Of course, it was WAY over for him by then.

    Yeah liver cancer does kill fast, but you suffer a lot before you die.

    That's why it would be better for Joe if he went quick.

    If he's suffering, and I bet he is, I really hope he goes quick. Nothing good will come out of 'lasting a bit longer', his suffering will only get prolonged. I know none of us want to see such a legend go, but it seems inevitable now, so the only thing we can hope for is that he goes with as little suffering as possible.

    - I lost my old man this past Superbowl weekend to Multiple Myeloma after his kidneys shut down.. Another poster was 100% accurate when he said he doesn't expect Joe to make it through this upcoming week. When your internals are ****ed, they're ****ed. I, too hope he goes quickly to avoid suffering. He doesn't deserve it and his family does not need to see him suffer.

    If anyone here has ever seen Cancer take a person they'd wish God to take Smokin Joe sooner than later.

    Hope Joe goes at peace with himself.

    Apparently, it went a lot like I thought it had. They didn't detect it until about 4 weeks ago, which is typical, btw. This means he's pretty close to the end:

    Apparently, the business manager wants to take him to Russia for experimental treatments, and the family is against this. I can understand why, all it will do is prolong the inevitable. I sure hope this doesn't happen.

    This, what's the point in living a few more days if you're only going to be in pain.
