Really sad how we lost Vernon Forrest, Pernell Whitaker, Aaron Pryor, and Hector Camacho before their time. Include Diego Corrales in that list.

Just saw this news on ESPN. Damn, just a couple of weeks ago he was in attendance at a fight and they put the camera on him, it was good to see him. Ah man, this sucks. RIP champ

Just got a text a short time ago from my brother mentioning the sad news.

Sad day for the boxing world and his loved ones.

At the risk of stating the abundantly obvious, he deserved a much better exit than this. A sad day for the sport. It's a cloud that will definitely loom over the weekend's events.
