    I was actually in Jamaica when he got hacked to death via machete. Drunk on Red Stipe when I heard the news.

    Another question, is Berbick's win over Ali on the same sort of level as Fury's win over old Wlad?

    No way. Ali was suffering from Parkinson's and had been blown out by Holmes when he was beaten by Berbick. Wlad was simply an aging but still very capable world champion.

    To whom can we compare Berbick nowadays?
    Chisora? Ortiz?

    Larry Holmes absolutely hated the man. Larry didn't like a lot of people but he had a special hate for Berbick.
