RIP Joe Frazier. Probably my favorite boxer when I was growing up.

I saw him at the Ohio state fair when I was a kid. His son Marvis was 17 and Cooper Arena hosted the largest amateur tournament in the nation. There were 3 rings. Marvis was the last fight, in the center, for the national heavyweight title. Joe was in his corner and he won. RIP
