Well we do know that black people are predisposed to heart problems and high blood pressure. Surprised no one has mentioned high blood pressure. I really wonder if he had high blood pressure for years and never addressed it. CHF is not something that just pops up over night. And especially at 42. He is a year younger than me. There is no doubt that he was not keeping a check on his health. It appears his heart had never been looked at until maybe recently. Like I said CHF takes years to develop normally. A heart just doesn't enlarge and fall apart in a year. The guy evidently was not keeping regular checks on his heart and other vitals If he was, warning signs would have popped up before his heart got that bad. Just my 2 cents.
Actually he passed a prefight physical in January including an EKG.Now that doesn't mean he was in perfect health .Just not anything dangerous enough to keep him from fighting.
