    Can anyone elaborate on this? What Was his decline due to? Age? Addiction? Wear and tare? Illness? What caused the downfall of the greatest middleweight of his era?

    I read he'd suffered with TB and that was the cause of his death.
    Perhaps that had a effect on his last few year's fighting.
