Joe Frazier 1944-2011



Boxing Great Joe Frazier Dies After Cancer Fight

My dad was a big boxing fan over the years and it rubbed off on me. The Ali vs Frazier fights were a big deal at our house and I watched them all. I was very sorry to hear of Mr. Frazier's passing.

RIP Mr. Frazier.

    Cube - I detest boxing - but not the boxers.

    I have nothing but respect for Mohammad Ali - and I was saddened to hear that Joe Frazier had died and that he was only 67.


    I read that someone said that they hoped he had found peace before he died - and I feel the same.

    Ditto for me. We watched the fights.
    RIP Joe! Good memories are left behind. I can't think of a nicer legacy.

    Sue Hanes: I have nothing but respect for Joe Frazier... Ali is another story.

    Silly Rabbit: The fights were a big deal at our house. I remember it having to be quiet when the show was on... that was a big deal ;-)

    Cube - Why no respect for M. Ali?

    You don't have to answer that.

    I was actually living in the Philippines when he and Ali clashed...The Thrilla in Manila. It was a HUGE deal, and the TV images are burned in my memory.

    I was only 4

    The stitching of our MMA punching bags is solid and delicate, you don’t have to worry about ripping or tearing. And on the outside it is canvas, the advantage is that it does not crack, but it would be better to use gloves. This category bags are highly recommended for practitioners of mixed martial arts.

    Boxing is ideal to develop your physical condition and to overcome your limits. It teaches you to maintain self-control, rigor and respect. Boxing is a complete discipline, which will allow you to channel your energy, tone the body and increase your resistance. Live an authentic experience while releasing your tensions. Sack work tones the boxer’s muscles to increase his punching power using boxing bags.
