Joe Frazier seriously ill with liver cancer.

Only diagnosed last month too.

Reading between the lines, that he is in a hospice suggests that things look bleak. Hope him and Ali have finally made their peace.

US former world heavyweight boxing champion Joe Frazier is in hospice care with liver cancer, his manager says. He says Frazier - also known as Smokin' Joe - was diagnosed with cancer several weeks ago.
"I would be a liar if I did not tell you it is very serious," Leslie Wolf told Reuters news agency.

You think back to the late 60's and early 70's and how Boxing was the sport out there with all those great heavyweights. Pretty much every casual sports fan in America knew who these guys were.

Today, who's the biggest names in boxing. Manny Paquio, Floyd Mayweather, and Bernard Hopkins are the only 3 current boxers I can name.

He's a legendary guy from the golden era of that sport, that misses the presence him and others had in those days. RIP.
