    Maybe, a quick search didn't bring him up as dead.

    Aside from Holmes and Weaver, Michael Spinks is 70 and still pretty sharp. He definitely has mobility issues though. I saw him about two years ago and he clearly had knee issues.

    I know it's in poor taste to say this right now, but I've wondered for many years if Chuvalo ever spoke of his own responsibility for what happened to his wife and sons. Was he really just an innocent victim?
