Watched the 'Thrilla in Manila' fight last night for the first time on ESPN. Not a huge boxing fan but couldn't help but feel a sense of horror at what I was seeing but also huge admiration for Frazier and Ali. God, they were tough and crazy! There is little doubt both were willing to die during that fight.
Sad to see his passing. RIP Smokin' Joe.
