Boxing most tragic figures.
I'd go with Riddick Bowe as someone who reflects the dark side of our collective passion. Certainly, boxing has left him in bad mental shape though he does seem to have some money left over. Bowe is tragic for many different reasons not the least of which is that he never fulfilled his great potential. Hell, no big man could ever fight as well as he could on the inside. He had it all, but then, after the two Golata DQ 's, it went south fast. Maybe his grueling trilogy with Holyfield ruined him. Whatever the case, Bowe was never all that he could have been.
Can you name some others?
