RIP Joe Frazier- one of the greats and an inspiration to many.

At 5'10" 205lbs he was diminutive by heavyweight standards and yet was a feared and colossal force in the ring.  Simply relentless- always moving forward, giving and taking no quarter, and unleashing the vaunted left hook in legendary encounters throughout his storied career. Olympic gold medalist and heavyweight champion of the world.... first man to beat Ali... and on and on....

Below is a video tribute to him below, which includes his great victory over Ali in 1971.  Something to remember next time you're about to encounter a great challenge of any kind, (entrepreneurial or otherwise).

Of particular note is minute 2:33....

RIP
