Gene Fullmer former middleweight champ died yesterday at 83 years old. One of the toughest fighters of all time, Fullmer was probably best known for his fights with Sugar Ray Robinson who he beat twice. He died just hours after his brother Jay, also a former boxer, was laid to rest. I had the pleasure of meeting Gene and his brothers a few times over the years since I moved to Utah. He was remarkably humble and was truly a good guy. RIP Mr. Fullmer.
