That's really sad.
He was a top boxer in a time when his weight division had some superb athletes.

Classic. There's never been three better rounds than that.
Sad news indeed, I've still not found any report on the cause for his death.
The middleweight division in the 80s was fantastic. Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Duran. Proper tear-ups! To this day I think Hagler beat Leonard and should have got the decision...Haglar was so incensed by the result he never fought again.
That era was a real high point in world boxing and was closely followed by the British version in the 90s with Benn, Watson and Eubank.

Hearns was so close to winning that on a Rantie; Hagler's always cut easily. Alan Minter wasn't averse to putting the head in on Hagler to cut him up.

Just the 80s in general in other divisions. The Mcguigan Pedrosa fights were electric
