That one punch not only destroyed Curry ... it also may have beaten Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Leonard at the same time. RIP Mike. https://ringobserver.com/biofile-mik...lum-interview/

One of the best boxers of all time in any weight class. Very underrated. Rest in peace champ.

RIP champ. Great fighter who still doesnt get his name mentioned as much as he should.

Wow. 67-68 seem to be very common numbers among champion boxers.

Wow. 67-68 seem to be very common numbers among champion boxers.

Early reports say he was driving to the gym when he may have had a heart attack.

If so, it means he was still active and wasn't suffering like so many others had, e.g. SRR, Ali.

It looks like his ticker gave out. Maybe, not at all boxing related.

RIP Bodysnatcher.

A tough fighter! I thought he edged James Toney who was a favorite of the judges, but his age and wear and tear had him settling for an official draw.


His match up with fellow ko artist Julian Jackson was short but memorable.
