    he had just nine fights before his title shot what did he do to deserve this. i also see he made three sucesful title defenses before being overmatched with duran. were those three guys really any good or was davey being spoon fed? how did he die?

    Ayub Kalue was an ex-champion.I think him being with Tomorrow's Champions may have helped him to some extent.

    yeah, i heard he "killed himself" ala billy collins but there doesn't seem to be any proof of that. accidents happen (course that didn't stop barkley for blaming duran for it)
