    That's terrible news.

    When I saw the post, I jumped to the conclusion that drugs could be involved, as he had a chequered history with cocaine, but something as random as being hit by a car just seems so wrong for such a great fighter.

    He absolutely has to be always in the conversation for greatest defensive fighter of all time and to be honest I always rooted against him when he was fighting but as the years went by my admiration for him grew and grew. I would most definitely have him in my personal top 10 Pound-for-Pound fighters of all time. That's not an emotive decision because of the occasion, I have stated that previously on this forum. He was a true legend.

    RIP.
