    Pound for pound one of greatest of all time, IMO. He never got recognition he deserved. Two almost dead even fights with Sugar Ray Robinson, mentioned by many as greatest. 5 years in a row in either fight of year, or winning fighter of year. One of those who kept his mind sharp, would have been nice to see more of him past 15 years.

    Same...so many great fighters, trainers, and boxing figures have passed this year. Hard to believe a lot of them are actually gone.

    Carmen Basilio, Emanuel Steward, Corrie Sanders, Johnny Tapia, Bert Sugar, Goody Petronelli, Angelo Dundee, Bill Miller, Michael Dokes, Julio Cesar Gonzalez, Eddie Perkins, Wayne Kelly, Jimmy Bivins, etc.

    :-(

    R.I.P. champ. One of the toughest fighters to ever trade leather. They don'nt make them like this guy anymore.
