Smokin’ Joe Frazier has died at the age of 67 after a short battle with liver cancer. He fought Mohammad Ali three times. One, known as “The Fight of the Century” saw Frazier take down Ali at Madison Square Garden- making him the first man to do so. But the tides turned in the famed rematch known as “The Rumble in the Jungle”, when Frazier lost his rematch with Ali in a bloody 15 round battle. Ali called it “the closest thing to death” he’d ever known and Frazier, who wanted to continue the fight was held back by his trainer because he’d taken so many blows from Ali he literally couldn’t see.
