Former heavyweight boxing champ Frazier dies

Former heavyweight boxing champion Joe Frazier died Monday, after he was diagnosed with liver cancer, his family said in a statement. Frazier was 67. "We The Family of ... Smokin' Joe Frazier, regret to inform you of his passing," the statement said. "He transitioned from this life as 'One of God's Men,' on the eve of November 7, 2011 at his home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."

Senh: Jeez, it was just a couple days ago when I featured a story about his cancer diagnosis. I thought he would at least have a couple more years, if not more.
