    -Jimmy Young
    - Jerry Quarry
    - Diego Corrales
    - John Tate


    These were basically the big ones in my life time. There may have been a few others, but I was pretty shocked by how young these guys were when they past. Quarry deserved to live longer than he did. Sure, he chose a bad lifestyle, but the man was a decent human being who died fairly young. Jimmy Young had a shitty life. Diego Corrales was a kid killed on a motor cycle accident..

    Tragic..

    It will hit you more when your contemporaries go, as you age. Not so much when you in your 20's or 30's or early 40's. IMHO

    Hearns,I followed his career very closely after the first Leonard fight and beyond. If I remember right,many years ago,he had a grandfather over 100. Maybe good genes there.
