Seemed like a fun guy...looked like he was finally showing his age. Watched so many of his fights back in the day.

37?

Skill wise, and looks a little bit. The dood used to be cut, used to be able to stand in there with the best of em. Against Kendall, it was a little sad watching it. Kind of like the last Hughes fight. Sometimes you just need to know when to hang it up.

so what did he die from?

Why hang it up if you are still getting paid? He was definitely not as good as in his prime, that's for sure, but if the money is still there, why not? He went from world class competitor to "opponent" but he was still getting paid, at least.
