It's a shame but it was bound to happen, he had a hell of a life.

people use the term legend too much
in the ring he really was a legend
unbeaten in 11 years
his personal life was a mess
a lot of that time he was a drug addict and alcoholic,
father murdered before he was born,mother, raped,tortured , and murdered when he was 9
clinically dead 5 times
he was in some great tear ups but thats him and arturo gatti both dead young 2 great warriors from my era in boxing
