Legendarni americki boksac Joe Frazier, bivši olimpijski prvak i bivši svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji, preminuo je sinoc u 68. godini života od posljedica raka jetre.
Prošle subote u javnost je procurilo kako se Frazier bori sa smrtonosnom bolesti, a dva dana kasnije njegova je obitelj priopcila kako je velikan svjetskog boksa i covjek koji je pobijedio Muhammada Alija izgubio svoju posljednju borbu i vjecno zaspao. Rak mu je dijagnosticiran krajem rujna u vec uznapredovaloj fazi.
Na Olimpijskim igrama u Tokiju 1964. godine Frazier je osvojio zlatnu medalju, a osmog ožujka 1971. godine u njujorškom je Madison Square Gardenu nakon 15 rundi duge borbe odlukom sudaca pobijedio Muhammada Alija u borbi za svjetsku boksacku titulu u teškoj kategoriji po verzijama WBC i WBA.
Mec dvojice boksackih velikana, u koji je pobjednik Frazier (tada 27-godišnjak) ušao kao prvak, a Ali (29) kao izazivac, danas je poznat kao "Fight of the Century (Borba stoljeca)", i bio je prvi od triju sudara teškaša u vjerojatno najvecem rivalstvu profesionalnog boksa svih vremena.
Obojica clanova Boksacke kuce slavnih borili su se medusobno još dva puta: 28. sijecnja 1974. godine takoder u New Yorku, te prvog listopada 1975. na Filipinima, u borbi nazvanoj "Thrilla in Manila (Uzbudenje u Manili)", koju boksacki autoriteti drže za najbolju borbu 20. stoljeca. Oba je puta pobijedio Ali.
'Smokin Joe'' se nedugo nakon tog drugog poraza od Alija oprostio od profesionalne karijere, koju je završio s 32 pobjede (27 nokautom), cetiri poraza i jednom borbom bez pobjednika. Po dva poraza u karijeri Frazieru su nanijeli Ali i George Foreman, covjek koji mu je u sijecnju 1973. godine u Kingstonu preoteo naslov svjetskog prvaka i koji je narušio njegov dotad savršen omjer u karijeri (29-0).
- Boks je izgubio velikog šampiona, a sport je izgubio velikog ambasadora – porucio je Manny Pacquiao, sjajni filipinski boksac i svjetski prvak u velter kategoriji prema WBO verziji.
"Joe Frazier bio si ikona i pionir za ljude poput mene. Bio si nam inspiracija i voljeli smo te. Nedostajat ceš nam", porucila je slavna americka tenisacica Serena Williams putem Twittera.
RIP

covjek neobicnog stila, legenda boksa u vrijeme kada je boks nešto znacio, primao je udarce i išao naprijed, rušio sve pred sobom i to u vrijeme kada su u vrhu bili velikani pocivao u miru |
if you tolerate this, then your children will be next |

Najludi lijevi kroše svih vremena.. Pocivaj u miru care |
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
