    Sad to say this isn't unexpected, but for a man whose life began with such tragedy it's amazing what he accomplished. RIP to a legend.

    We just had a promising Thai prospect lose his life a few days ago.

    What's going on?

    R.I.P. champ.

    NO NO NO.
    I asked Barrera at one of those dinners a couple months ago how Johnny was and he said not to believe the press,he's doing much better.
    After a great weekend with Froch as well.
    I'm ****ing gutted!
    He'll finally get to see his mum again.
    RIP Champ.Hope you knew how loved you were.

    I was just watching some action.The way he moved that head and fired back with combinations was poetry in motion.A genuine example of a guy who would have been an absolute superstar nowadays or if he'd been at a bigger weight back in the day.
    Always a legend for me.

    Sad sad news.

    Boxing helped him deal with his demons.

    Without boxing it must have been really hard for him.
