George Foreman pays touching tribute to Joe Frazier

Former heavyweight champion George Foreman, who inspired Howard Cosell's legendary call, "Down goes Frazier!" in dethroning Joe Frazier as world heavyweight champion, has just distributed a statement on Monday night's death of Smokin' Joe.

"The term 'one and only' has been widely used to introduce many a celebrity, athlete and politician.  Generally they've appeared in print, TV or movies.

"With most of these folks, 'one and only' is the last definition they deserve. [Because when] you see them at home, at work, on the TV, campaigning, visiting the poor -- [and then] in the presence of the rich and famous -- you might see a different person.

"One hello for the rich, a goodbye for the poor.

"Even a special handshake for the haves and the have nots.
