Boxing Joe Frazier Diagnosed With Liver Cancer

PHILADELPHIA - Former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier has liver cancer and is under hospice care. The 67-year-old boxer was diagnosed four or five weeks ago, Frazier's personal and business manager said Saturday. Leslie Wolff told The Associated Press that doctors have not yet told Frazier how long he has to live. "We have medical experts looking into the all the options that are out there," Wolff said. "There are very few. But that doesn't mean we're going to stop looking." Wolff, who has been Frazier's manager for seven years, said the boxer had been in out and out of the hospital since early October and receiving hospice treatment the last week. "We appreciate every prayer we can get," Wolff said. "I've got everybody praying for him. We"ll just keep our fingers crossed and hope for a miracle.

I know first hand when Hospice is called it only a matter of days or weeks if you're lucky.

Biggest fight of Joe's life. Hang in there Champ.

Fuck! Losing Smokin' Joe would be more than just losing one of the all-time great boxers, but one of the best personalities ever too.

Hopefully the fight he showed in the ring he does with cancer too.

He's in hospice care. Generally where you put someone to make them "more comfortable" towards the end. If smokin joe sees 2012 he'll be an incredibly lucky man.
