After the deaths of Arturo Gatti and Alexis Arguello and Mike Tyson's daughter, I got to thinking, What tragedies in the boxing world have been the worst or most heartbreaking

Stanley Ketchel - got shot by a jealous husband

Jack Johnson - dies in car crash after being refused service at a Dinner in North Carolina on account of his skin color.

Muhamed Ali - Long slow deterrioration with Parkinson's

Duk Koo Kim - Dies in the ring vs Ray Mancini

George Chuvalo - Son dies of overdose and wife committs suicide

Battling Siki - shot twice in the back of the head at the age of 28, perhaps by a police officer who saw him drunkenly staggaring down the street.

Joe Louis - Sucker punched by the US Government and made dirt poor for his Golden Years, battled drug and alcohol addiction and died penniless after being one of the GREAT Civil Rights Leaders.

Ray Robinson - battled drug addiction and Alzheimer's

Trevor Berbick - Killed by being beaten to death with a metal pipe

Ezzard Charles - Died at 53 due to ALS, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's disease
