    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.

    This short tells the origin of his issue's and how his life could have been saved. His very first match was the origin's of his downfall ironically. I also have profile on his fights.
