Sad to report that legendary former bantamweight and featherweight world champion Éder Jofre passed away today at the age of 86 in São Paulo, Brazil. Jofre is considered by many to be the greatest bantamweight boxer in history. He had a professional record of 75-2-4 with 55 KOs, both his losses were close decisions against Fighting Harada. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992. R.I.P.

- - Not then and not now. In his day he was head to head vs SRR P4P accolades and talked about in the first boxing forums on AOL.

Look up gentleman/boxer and there he be, the Golden Bantam.

Very few mention him now from what I can see. They mention the usual 15 names we hear every week.

- - Nothing we can do about the limitations of modern fans who seldom know squat about the history of their own communities much less a complicated lineage of boxing.
