    Very sad news.

    His fight against Lennox Lewis was great. When Lewis beat Bruno, I remember him saying how much harder Mason hit. Always came across as a very nice guy too. RIP.

    So Tragic :(
    Only ever lost one fight and it was to a 25 year old lennnox lewis, and only cause he got a cut on his eye and the ref stopped it in the 7th, he was favorite to win too.

    RIP Gary.

    I always liked the guy. Just seemed a really nice fella.
    Awful way to go.

    It's just unfortunate he was around the same time as one of the greatest heavyweights from any era.

    It's just very sad that a decent chap dies in such a manner
    RIP
