Smokin Joe

The great boxer sadly has passed away from Liver Cancer
Perhaps the 3rd Greatest' boxer in his era
My idol in 60s /70s Was Cassuis Clay
I was devastated when Smokin Joe beat Ali in 1971 in one of historys greatest fights
Who can forget Joe
ducking

Only 2 men beat Joe they were Ali and Foreman
