RIP to a true legend.

Very lucky to have met him at the sportsmans dinner at the ground an enjoyed shaking the hand that floored Ali.

A sad day but in a better place now

A true great, involved in some of the greatest heavyweight fights of all times, and one for whom the word legend is not wasted upon.

RIP Smokin' Joe - sad news.

sad news. before my time but i enjoyed watching the dvds of his fights.

don't see how he's in a better place, given that he's dead.

Sad news
RIP Joe.


FFF STFU!

Its better than being in Cas, but id rather be alive than in "the better place".

RIP Joe - I was also lucky enough to meet him earlier this year at the sportsmans dinner.

I have a great photo of the two of us together. A terrific fighter and man.

Thats two bites

Well sit down Joe, you've earned it, but none of us will ever forget what you did here in your 67 years.

A true Heavyweight World Champion from an era when it really was hard to win and even harder to keep.

Joe once said [i"boxing is the only sport where you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertaker book".[/i

Well, you shook a few brains yourself Joe, but the undertaker finally got your name in his book, as he does for all of us. Not many names in that book will stand out like yours,

Rest In Peace Champ!

Legend is an overused word in sport, but not in this case. One of the best that they'll ever be. RIP Smokin' Joe.

Not the biggest of heavyweights of his time but without doubt had the biggest heart.
RIP Joe
