There's nothing on the AP or BBC about it yet, so until then I refust to believe it. Don't get too down yet guys, this is exactly how the Jeff Goldblum thing went recently.
Well i'll be honest here im more sad about Arturo Gatti's death, because i grew up on Arturo Gatti. I see his fights live the man was a legend, he was like the real life Rocky his fights with Tracy Harrison, Micky Ward, Ivan Robinson, Gabriel Ruelas, Wilson Rodriguez, ETC were legendary.
Possibly the most saddest i've ever been over a boxers death since Diego Corrales, what he gave to the boxing fans was a life times worth. R.I.P champ you will never be forgotten.
Ok USA Today have got it & they're not likely to do it unless they had proof.

RIP Champ, so tragic when a life goes before its time. IMO deserving of being in Canastota.
Too far gone to be a hoax now, its up all over the place and USA Today would check the sources.
RIP.
Rip just dont do him justice.That man gave everything to us,fans.Hole in my chest right now.Leaning towards homicide....on his honeymoon??Just savage.Be at peace Arturo........and thank you.
I am gutted, I recieved a phone call about an hour ago from another writer from another site asking me if it was true, I had to stop at the library to jump on the public computer to look for myself....
This is truly a sad day.....
Gotta love that Gabriel Ruelas fight but then again all of those vids are classics
I have this same sickening feeling when I first saw the Diego Corrales thread on here. Another great, who gave us everything has gone. I'm truly devastated. Like VD said, ruined my day.
Thanks for the memories Champ, you will not be forgotten.
