Joe Frazier, the Former Heavyweight Champion, Has Died

Joe Frazier, the former heavyweight champion whose furious and intensely
personal fights with a taunting Muhammad Ali endure as an epic rivalry in boxing
history, died Monday night. He was 67.

His business representative, Leslie Wolff, told The Associated Press in early
November that Frazier had liver cancer and that he had entered hospice care.

Known as Smokin’ Joe, Frazier stalked his opponents around the ring with a
crouching, relentless attack — his head low and bobbing, his broad, powerful
shoulders hunched — as he bore down on them with an onslaught of withering jabs
and crushing body blows, setting them up for his devastating left hook.
