    Sad to hear if true. An exciting fighter back in his day when British Boxing was short of genuinely world class operators

    Always liked Lloyd. Beating Don Curry was brilliant, the American was argually the best boxer on the planet at the time.

    Exciting wins over Bumphus, Blocker (future champ), Hatcher, revenge over Vaca and lets not forget what he did to Rosi in Italy.

    His downfall was so swift and I saw him live losing to Adrian Dobson. Very sad.

    Wish the Ragamuffin man well.

    A British boxing great due to that legendary night vs Curry; sad to hear he isn't doing so well.
