I know this isn't a sports site but sports seem to be dominating the day. I just want to say, it's a shame that this disgusting Penn State scandal is the leading news story when we lose one of the great boxers of all time.
I'm not a huge boxing fan but I remember what huge events each Ali-Frazier fight was. Ali with his big mouth that everyone seemed to hate and Frazier just doing what he did best with seemingly everyone rooting for him to knock Ali's teeth down his throat just to shut him up.
Now, everyone treats Ali as an American icon, rightfully so, and Joe just seemed to be pushed to the background. Unfortunately, it may just take Frazier's death to lift him to the same level as Ali or close to it. As a tribute I read said, "There is no Ali without Joe Frazier."
R.I.P. Joe
