He was probably the best defensive fighter of all time however Floyd was better defensively and countering .I know this guy had his demons but still a sad story. Rest in peace champ. You will be remembered.

Shocked.Remember his name floating about even though I wasnt into boxing as much then due to my relatively young age .

Life is so short.Try to make the healthy decisions always.
