    Pretty sure that is the guy that becomes the head of company don't know his name off hand and certainly couldn't pick him out of a line-up.

    It isn't odd for boxing fans minds to go to this, sure it is sad but life goes on and most people were not personally connected with Goosen while they probably do want to see Ward fight


    Still very sad and sudden though so I can understand certain feelings.



    being a fan of a sport is much less important to me than being a decent man. a guy died. 64 is young. it's sad.

          You can feel however you want, I know Goosen wouldn't give a **** ass if I at half his age died of liver cancer that is part of life so sorry that I am not totally broken up nor up in arms to anyone else who wonders how that effects the sport.

          I do wish his family the best to get through this awful time for them, I don't see how wondering about the future is speaking ill of the dead in any way.

          Sorry if you knew Goosen personally but I didn't

                Most the time he says because he's boring, same reason he doesn't like Rigo

                  There's still a Tutor in Goosen-Tutor. From what I understand, Tutor is one wealthy individual.

                    He's a partner in one of the largest construction companies in the world.
