    This is truly a sad day in sports. Alexis, you were a awesome talent-and a class act. That seems to be a rare combination.

    You will be greatly missed.

    the worst day in boxing i have had to experiance.

    A true great and one fighter i admired.

    But i admired him much more than as a boxer he was a true gentleman of the highest order, a very respectful guy.
