    "Sit down, son, it's all over. But no-one will ever forget what you did here today."
    Eddie Futch to 'Smokin' Joe Frazier (October 1st 1975, Manilla)

    Well sit down Joe, you've earned it, but none of us will ever forget what you did here in your 67 years.

    A true Heavyweight World Champion from an era when it really was hard to win and even harder to keep.

    Joe once said "boxing is the only sport where you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertaker book".

    Well, you shook a few brains yourself Joe, but the undertaker finally got your name in his book, as he does for all of us. Not many names in that book will stand out like yours,

    Rest In Peace Champ!

    Well said.

    Smokin' Joe will always have a higher niche than loquacious Ali in my heart.
