    Apparently he has passed away. One of the best boxers around during the 70`s .
    R.I.P Ken.

    Well below average nowadays Mark...I hadn't realised he got very badly smashed up in a car accident a few years ago..perhaps thats a contributing factor.

    Aye R.I.P. Ken. Great fights with Ali and Holmes.

    Still think he was hard done by on the points decision against Ali.

    RIP Ken. One of the greats of his era. Rough decision in one fight against Ali, was it the 3rd fight?
