Genaro Hernandez nearing the end

[Spicoli]

Ahh fuckin A man dont tell me this Everything I've heard he was on the road to recovery

It just ain't right, this savage black disease. Its not right at all!! Genaro is a Champions champion and a true gentlemen. And thats exactly how he'll stay!!

Have a lot of respect for Genaro he grew up in East LA like I did.
He attended and graduated from Roosevelt High School like I did.
Had a chance to meet him on two occasions and a real nice guy.
I wish him all the best and hope he fights back like he knows how.
God bless...

Chiconito was a fine fighter and is, by all accounts, a better man.

No biggie, but it's "Chicanito"...

A real shame. It was when facing Hernandez that I first realised Mayweather was quite a special talent. But there was so much more to him than that. Remember how he dealt with Raul Perez after the TD? Also how he wrestled the belt from Azumah Nelson, showing some of that famous hispanic "Machismo". I was also surprised at how easily he dealt with another Hernandez in Carlos (the only man to deck Mayweather).

When we look back at his record and see he only ever lost 2 fights and then look who they were against you realise this guy was a very capable fighter and I have no doubt that fight is still going to be as strong in him until his last day with us. From that day on he will be missed!

Very sad news. I thought he was beating cancer too. Anyways a quality fighter and looks to be a quality guy outside of the ring.

Great post mate, although being pedantic I'd have to point out Carlos didn't drop PBF, he took a knee because he'd broke his hand. That said, I'd forgotten about his fight with Carlos Hernandez. Hell, he made easier work of him imo than either Floyd or Morales did. From what I understand he's gone home because he'd rather die with his wits about him with his family than out of his mind on drugs in a hospital. I've a personal bitch that he's not even had his name on an ibhof ballot. Granted he may not get in, but he deserves a nomination.

ElTerrible, really sorry to hear about your friend bro, my thoughts are with him man.
