R.I.P. "Smoking" Joe. One hell of a career, much more than the battles with Ali... Champion, hall of famer... The "Thrilla In Manilla"... What a career...
Joe passed away from liver cancer tonight at the age of 67. Boxing owes Joe just as much as it owes Ali. RIP Joe, I wasn't old enough to see your fights when they happened, but years later they're still on and your impact on the sport is still felt.
