Joe Frazier near death reports say....
Driving back home to Orlando from my Mom's house in Tampa listening to sports radio, I heard this report at least 5 times.
Liver Cancer is about to smoke out Smokin' Joe's flame.
He is reported to be near death in a hospice.
67 years old.

That sucks.

His bouts with Ali were epic.

5. Just this, H.
Hey, Joe. You were an integral part of my childhood. You made the sports world a much better place. Safe passage.
