Liver cancer claims former heavyweight boxing champ Joe Frazier.
”Smokin” Joe was a small yet ferocious fighter who overwhelmed his opponents with punches, including a devastating left hook he used to end many of fights early.
He used that left hook to become the first boxer to defeat heavyweight champion, Muhammad Ali in 1971 to win the so-called “Fight of the Century.”
However, after that fight he lost two other matches to Ali.
Frazier was diagnosed last month with liver cancer.
He was 67.
