Sad news,
A great guy, modest, genuine and likeable, possibly one of a kind in the world of boxing.

Though according to your heading he passed away ten years ago. ???

Sorry about the title - shows I live in the past!

Changed


He was known as a really nice guy and I dont think i heard anyone say a bad word about him. I always thought it amazing that someone could be so famous because mainly of one punch. It was a real shame that he couldnt have made that punch 2 minutes earlier ... might have changed history!
