    It is a shame there is no statue for Joe Frazier in Philly. Sad really, he certainly deserves it.

    "You guys have Joe Frazier, but he's black so you can't handle it! Instead you have a statue for a fake heavyweight played by an Italian midget!"

    They won't kill white people. Attracts the cops.

    Joe Frazier has loads of children, they should look after him. Also would'nt you think Muhammad Ali would help him out, Joe Frazir helped him out back when Mu Hammad Ali was stripped of his title and boxing licence.

    Because in Philly you have the most ****ed up sport fans in the world...and they rather have a tribute to a mystical white character to represent the City of Brotherlly Love.....rather than with a man that exemplified the Philly school of boxing like Smokin' Joe Frazier....he just have to be happy with a cameo apperance on Rocky I

    Because Joe didn't run down the parkway with half the kids of the city following, and he didn't run up the art museum and fire off some wicked combos to show he was ready to knock out Apollo.
