    I was shocked when I heard Joe was ill and was devastated when I heard the news of Joe's passing at 6AM London time this morning.

    I didn't know Joe personally but although I didn't know him, I did know him - does that make sense? He fought openly and honestly, and came across like that as a human being...no BS, just a great, humble, uncomplicated stand-up guy. I am as devastated as I can be for someone I didn't know on a personal level.

    He was such a great fighter...I remember going to school the day after FOTC on my 8th birthday, I was one of the few in my class who wanted Joe to win...I felt so proud.

    He was my late Mother's favourite fighter too...it really brings a lump to my throat.

    I have read the tributes on this thread while I am at work and I can feel myself welling up...

    Rest In Peace Smokin' Joe Frazier...one of the true greats, as brave as any man who ever stepped in the ring.

    We will love and remember you forever, thanks for the memories...

    With deepest sympathy to Joe's family, and those lucky enough to know him.
