    Very saddened to hear the passing of another boxing icon. The most destructive, powerful, fearless, and humble boxer to ever grace foot in the ring. Boxing will truly miss this HW legend.

    RIP Champ

    May he rest in peace, he was larger than life and was my favourite boxer.

    He inspired so much people to do something in their lifes including me.
