    Seems strange to think Broad, Page, Dokes, Tate, Bey, Berbick, Carl Williams are all gone. Then again, given the way some of them lived, maybe it isn't.

    I hadn't heard about Bey, honestly. Sad to hear that. Construction accident apparently, not quite the wages of dissipation kind of thing that got the rest but he's no less gone. R.I.P.

    As mean and unneeded as that nickname was, I still audibly laughed when I saw "Broad Ass".
    RIP

    He was an at times entertaining fighter. I watched him regularly back in 1983 to 84.

    I actually liked him, was impressed with Witherspoon stopping him.
