    The fact that Foreman and McCallum are dead while King and Arum are still alive is sickening

    R.I.P to the great one.

    This has been a shocking last few months in boxing, they say when it rains it pours, Foreman, Archer, Benvenuti, Livingston Bramble, now Mike McCallum…

    Ugh! Hands down my favorite fighter of all time. One of the greatest technical fighters that ever lived.

    Very sad news. One of my all time favorite fighters gone way too soon. The Body Snatcher was as complete of a fighter that you can get. RIP to this legend.

    RIP Body Snatcher. Can't imagine anyone not admiring this man, and he could have been much bigger had he got the big fights early, and the right calls late.
