    Well put together.
    Forrest defo stood out for me, He was the only still active fighter.
    And only one who never got that "career" fight the Mosley vic's deserved him

    RIP champ's

    They got Ward and Pryor involved, I wonder why no Mosley (as signature rival)? He's certainly been interviewed in the aftermath about Vernon - at least a few times that I recall.

    Listening to Arguello Jr is heartbreaking, particularly as he talks about the dressing room after the first Pryor fight. :-(

    That's the bit that gets me. And also the slow motion of Gatti and Ward hugging with that music, and Ward going "It's something no one will understand. We shared a bond".

    These three represented things that are RIGHT about boxing.

    To lose all of them, so soon, and so fast, it just hurts.

    Very moving, especially the one where Arguello son starts talking about his father apoligizing to him.
