Bad news. RIP. Wonder if it was genetic. Doubt there is any citizen who is not fond of Kenny C.

Aye. Ken Callander is a legend.

RIP to a real champ. Fought Ali twice. There are many who thought the 1960 Olympic bout against Ali should have been closer than the judges gave it.

RIP. I won $1000 in an Olympics quiz back in 1988 on the back of a "which Australian did Cassius Clay beat in the semi finals of the light heavyweight division at the 1960 games".

RIP to Madigan.

Geez, Madigan was 87. Good effort for a former boxer. Must've had the same unrattleable brain DNA as Jake LaMotta.

RIP Gillian Rolton, Olympic Equestrian legend

Felicity-Ann Lewis, who was quoted in the link, was talking with Karen Tighe on Grandstand this afternoon about a fund-raising event she and Gillian were organising, unaware that she had passed away or was on the verge of doing so.

RIP an all-time great
