Great competitor, would have been better still but for his pec tear. His training methods were extreme to say the least. A sad loss.

holy shit RIP, i remember reading about Johnny when i first started training and his workouts and how he used to do 75 sets per bodypart with heavy weights and minimal rest between sets.

most likely lymphoma is the more accurate term, or perhaps leukemia

Johnny Fuller was cool... a hell raiser too. Solid martial artist and not afraid to mix it up. Lots of muscle and crazy vascularity.

I think i read somewhere that he had very odd dietary habits. I have the 1985 olympia on tape and its was the year of his comeback post tear and instead of saying "comeback" the announcer (who had difficulties pronouncing english since he was belgium i think) he said "scumbag". Incredible back and abdominal development

You don't get cancer of the blood. You get cancer in the lymphatic nodes and marrow, which affect the ability of your body to produce healthy blood. The most common types are leukemia and lymphoma. This is sometimes called "blood cancer" but it's not really cancer of the blood.

I haven't seen Johnny for 20 years but he was a good (if slightly crazy) guy. RIP Bro, and God bless
