RIP champ. One of the top fighters during the Golden Age of heavyweights. He would have had a much longer reign in any other era. A magnificent athlete, always fit! Tough and always gave his best.

While he could be vulnerable to fast-starting big punchers, he gave a prime Larry Holmes his toughest fight by far and was the ONLY fighter that Muhammad Ali could not figure out. He gave Ali fits

A shame that such a physically gifted guy was so badly injured in a car crash post-boxing and suffered such a long period of ill health
