This was back on March 22, But I didn't see anything on this board. I may have missed a prior post.
Anyway; Goodnight island warrior.
Bramble, Mancini, Camacho... 80s mustve been a great time to be a boxing fan
Along with Bramble, Mancini, and Camacho, there was also R. Mayweather, Haugen, Randall, Pazienza, Ramirez, Whitaker, Rosario, Chavez Sr, and Arguello.
(Too bad Chavez and Arguello didn't stick long at lightweight considering they thrive even more there more than at 140)
There was indeed a series of respectful comments when BoxingScene broke the news:

I believe my friend Tatabanya posted something on this at the time of his passing. I was young during my Bramble's peak years but as a young kid, I was drawn to his quirky personality and colorful demeanor. He was tough as nails and a warrior in the ring. Boxing has had many unique and interesting personalities throughout the years and I'm not sure many of them were quite like Livingstone/Ras-I Alujah Bramble.
"In 1985, Bramble stated that he hated chickens and he strangled them. It was also reported that Bramble had skinned a dead cat and put it on his living room wall. During this time he had a boa constrictor and a ferret named spider. He also had a dog named snake."
how did he die?
