Man this is crap news to read.
First defeat an awful decision in his first title fight, later avenged. One draw as we all know was another shocking decision (against one of the greatest of all time) then three defeats in final four fights.
Take out the two stinkers and he’s unbeaten and nearly untouchable until the very end
RIP champ.

I always felt he beat DeLaHoya, to be perfectly honest.

RIP champ. Probably the best defence since Nicolino Locche. Gone way too young.

Awful news.
He was so good in his pomp that him even being tagged a few times was news in a fight. Incredible talent.
