    Very saddened to hear the passing of another boxing icon. The most destructive, powerful, fearless, and humble boxer to ever grace foot in the ring. Boxing will truly miss this HW legend.

    RIP Champ

    I get the feeling that Larry Holmes might not be so sad about having outlasted the others.
