One of the best, ever. He lost only three times, and had 78% of his fights as wins by knockout (52 KO's, 67 fights). That's the middleweight record. Fortunately, he was able to wisely invest his money and he died a wealthy man, age 66, his early death probably due in some part to his career. I don't know if he ever was diagnosed with CTE ( Chronic traumatic encephalopathy) but fighters usually have cognitive impairments after their careers.
Watch him fight Tommy Hearns, what a first round!
