oh yea also remembered the murder of Max Kellerman's brother, forgot the name of the guy who did it, but was the same fucker that punched the other fighter bare fist after he lost the decision, and it was a charity fight at that
ok found the clip, it was James Butler
YouTube - 23.11.2001 James Butler sucker-punches Richard Grant

Was trying to get some tranfers done the other night and watched that Akeem-Quiroga war again. Just brutal and how Akeem just fell out on live tv, laying there. Quiroga was a warrior, saw the match with Borboa on the end and that was just harsh.Quote:

Kid Akeem/Quiroga was an amazing fight, sadly Robert was taken from us too early as well....
Too often too soon, have to say Morrison also. Corrie Sanders. I guess if you have to go though, defending your kids is at the top of the list. Johnny Tapia!!
Good stuff bud but one correction. Chuvalo lost 3 sons to heroin and then his wife offed herself. How that guy remains so humble and together is well beyond my capacity.Quote:

Yeah he was almost cut in half in his own garage no less. The other Davey Moore dies after his fight with Ramos.Quote:

Vernon Forrest
The Forrest one was very sad. I remember see the HBO boxing deaths special about the deaths of Forrest, Gatti and Arguello. Tragic end. Sanders too, wasn't he protecting his daughter or something?Quote:

Yeah Forrest should have not pursued those guys. You can always get another watch. Corrie got it in a restaurant I think while dining with family. I was really gutted when Arguello killed himself. Its always the guy that you think would never do it that does. I hate to be a cynic but I still suspect Gatti's wife.Quote:

Yeah so do I, I always thought something was amiss with Gatti. I suppose we'll never know. I used to have that documentary on my PC but lost all of my boxing videos about a year ago, it was an interesting watch.Quote:

He chased the guy down and beat the hell out of him. He said it wasn't the money, but that the guy smacked him. He said that once the guy put hands on him, he had no other thought but returning the favor.Quote:

---------------------------------------------------
Ricardo Williams. Former Olympic Silver Medalist, 2000. Never got his career back on track after this first loss. Went to jail on several occasions, most notably a 3 year stint for drug trafficking through FedEx. Has never been the same human being ever since even though he still fights today, with his last fight being somewhere back in 09. Wasted talent and wasted effort for someone with such pedigree.
---------------------------------------------------
Tim Austin, 1992 Olympic Bronze Medalist. Shortly after the loss to Rafael Marquez, Austin was accused, and later acquitted, of raping a 16 year old girl. With his legal troubles behind him, Austin resumed his career in 2005 but his comeback was quickly derailed when he lost via TKO to journeyman Eric Aiken, who went on to win the IBF Bantamweight Title.
Austin had another run in with the law in January 2008. He was arrested and charged with domestic violence after allegedly threatening to kill his wife, and for kicking and punching her about the face.
---------------------------------------------------
Clifford Etienne. Former HW prospect, called the Black Rhino, fought notables like Fres Oquendo and Mike Tyson, both losses.
On June 22, 2006, following his trial in Baton Rouge, Etienne was found guilty and sentenced to 150 years in prison without parole for an allegedly cocaine fueled crime spree that included robbing a check cashing business, carjacking and kidnapping a family, and attempting to shoot two policemen.
In April 2013 his sentence was reduced from 160 years to 105 years due to a technicality. (Whatfuckingever)
:cool:

Edwin Valero, kills his wife and commits suicide in jail.
Corrie Sanders fatally shot during a robbery at a restaurant where he was attending a birthday party.
What about Tyson Fury singing after a fight ?
Or Tyson Fury being denied the chance to face David Haye due to theatrical makeup / intentionally cutting himself.
Jonny Owen wasn't urinated on as such but cups filled with it were thrown on him while been carried from the ring. The lad had never even kissed a girl. His story is heartbreaking.i believe their is a statue of him in his hometown .
James Schuler, motorcycle accident
Zora Folley, swimming accident
Sonny Liston,drug overdose
Gary Mason, hit by car cycling
An what about poor Bobby Chacon a thrilling battler who now can't tie his own shoes.
Thomas Hearns? I saw an interview with him and his speech is inaudable. There are so many, they say boxing mirrors life, an life ain't fair and sometimes whether our own fault or not ,bad things happen.
