I never liked Joe Frazier - I was more of an Ali type of guy.
But the thing is; great champions need even greater adversaries - and Joe was that.
R.I.P "Smokin'" Joe.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

I liked Joe. He was a down home kind of guy.
Joe was great. his gym in north Philly just became one of those cut-rate mattress/furniture stores. Makes me sad every time I drive by.
I'm an Ali guy too, but that shocked disbelieving look on Ali's face when Frazier really pounded him one was part of the picture.
