By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing - It brings me great sadness to report that Boxing has lost one of its all-time greatest legends in "Smokin" Joe Frazier. On Monday night, Frazier's family had confirmed that the former boxer had lost his battle with liver cancer.

The family of Frazier has released a statement. The statement is as follows...

"We The Family of the 1964 Olympic Boxing Heavyweight Gold Medalist, Former Heavyweight Boxing Champion and International Boxing Hall of Fame Member Smokin' Joe Frazier, regrets to inform you of his passing. He transitioned from this life as "One of God's Men," on the eve of November 7, 2011at his home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We thank you for your prayers for our Father and vast outpouring of love and support.

Respectfully, we request time to grieve privately as a family. Our father's home going celebration will be announced as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding."

Frazier will be missed. My heart, my thoughts and prayers go out to all of Frazier's family and close friends. The world has lost a true "legend" in every sense of the word.
