I believe this may be a thread for all to list the demise of fighters of late. Its difficult to keep up with 'who is still in the land of the living'.. A morbid thread, Im sure, although, it helps retain a dergree of perspective when speaking of all fighters.... Alive or deceased. A fighters mortality is the same as our own, alas, they have better reason to be remembered....... R.I.P all future mentions...

Big Cat.. thanks a million.. and condolences also.. If you knew the men, you are a fortunate man. Can you please tell me what transpired with Mike Hunter... I remember his visit to Australia in the early 90s to fight Jimmy Thunder... Hunter administered Thunders first major KO...... Took a while for Jimmy to re-attain credibility.. Eddie Futch.. What can be said about the man?? What a loss of a legend.. A very old legend, from guess.. 87-90 Y/O??? I read in the local paper today that Herbert Muhammad had passed also.... Will he leave a positive legacy???
