Sad stuff. One of the greatest boxers to ever come out of Mexico. RIP. ��

I think if my memory serves me right he was the 1st ever crowned cruiserweight champion for the IBF title.....I think so

Great fighter, a little too young to pass away.

Rest In Peace Champ! Blessings and Prayers for the family. It’s gotta be hard to accept when he was only 60 years old.

That was also Camel. The only time De Leon fought for the IBF title was his undisputed championship vs. Holyfield.

60 is young! Ive noticed boxers dont tend to have long lives. I hope with modern medicine this changes for the current & future generations.

Gone too soon. Rest In Peace, Carlos.
