    Damn! I remember him well he was a very good fighter, a two-weight world champion who won his world titles six divisions apart: Lightweight and Super-middleweight. Only 57 y/o. RIP

    A couple of months ago I was trying to think of the fighter that won titles in 2 divisions that were very far apart - and it was Thobela.

    RIP to him. What an insane accomplishment btw.
