By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing - You probably awoke today to read the sad news of the passing of a true boxing legend, Smokin' Joe Frazier. Frazier (67) succumbed to liver cancer last night. Below you'll find touching tweets from both Oscar De La Hoya and Shane Mosley on the passing of Joe Frazier.

Oscar De La Hoya @OscarDeLaHoya, tweeted: "I will miss you my friend. R.I.P. Joe Frazier"

"Sugar" Shane Mosley @SugarShaneM, tweeted: "Joe Frazier one of the greatest heavy weight champion ever. RIP"

DID YOU KNOW? Here is some trivia on Joe Frazier...

After Frazier won the USA's only 1964 Olympic boxing gold medal, his trainer Yancey "Yank" Durham helped put together Cloverlay, a group of local businessmen (including a young Larry Merchant) who invested in Frazier's professional career and allowed him to train full-time. Durham was Frazier's chief trainer and manager until Durham's death in August 1973.

Frazier turned professional in 1965, defeating Woody Goss by a technical knockout in the first round. He won three more fights that year, all by knockout, none going past the third round.
