    Passed away from cancer aged 71. RIP old lad. The passing of Gatti and Arguello will probably overshadow this, such is the way of things.

    RIP to a standout fighter in a pretty damned good bantamweight era.

    Just broke the news to my dad. A real shock for someone like my dad who will always remember John as a young man.
    John was one of the top bantams(world champ) of those great days. A gentleman outside the ring and a tiger inside it. A little man with a big heart.
    Deepest condolences to all his family
    Alan Rudkin and family.
