He's still a classy guy, d, but walks around at 165 now. His doctors advise packing on the pounds. He may lose a lot when he starts chemo.
This is a very dangerous, potentially painful cancer. This looks horrible. As someone who just buried his father to sudden cancer, I hope nothing but the best for Genaro and his family and hope they appreciate whatever time they have left.
Genaro was such a talented boxer and a gentleman outside of the ring. I have always thought Hernandez was vastly underrated and always enjoyed watching his bouts.I remember when he outboxed Emmanuel Steward's boxer-JL Ivey(I have that bout on DVD) I knew he would one day be a champion.Also remember his body shot that knocked out Raul Perez-beautiful punch.And then after the bout Hernandez let Perez leave the ring with Hernandez's title-pure class. I always thought that when Hernandez fought DE La Hoya that De La Hoya was just tooo big-he looked like he was 2 weightclasses above Hernandez.If De La Hoya would have met Hernandez at Jr.lightweight it would have been a different outcome.
