Bobby Chacon is a living legend here in L.A. and a true warrior hes loved by many and is always willing to share some laughs with you.
And your right it cost him terribly but I can assure you if he had the chance, he'd do it allober again.
I'm gonna check out your article thanks for sharing & Welcome to the forum.

Great guy, but you can definitely see the effects of too many punches.
You from So. Cal? Where at?
To be honest with you I've had the privlege/honor like you to meet and talk to Bobby, I personally don't think it's sad. He did what he loved doing the most which was to box (Well that and family he loved the most) but he was gladiator in that ring win, loose or draw he'd give it his all never giving up. Same reason I don't think it's sad to see Ali. What I do think is sad is the fact that the own Boxing Comissions don't get together and as a group get money together to help out some of these old vets with medication, care programs and most importantly rehab most of them turn to alcohol, drugs and shet like that. To me thats the sad part about it that once they are no longer in the ring sadly they are forgotten 'till they pass.

I'm not hacking at your comment about it being sad, cause it can defenitely be seen that way I just choose not to, I like to think of it in the sense like people who pass in the line of duty, they passed doing something they loved. Bobby loves the sport to this day the sad part is sometimes the sport is not there to love you back.
