Shockingly sad story of a Puerto Rican legend.....

[mickeyluvsu]

very sad story...i always think that people who do something dirty like his" SUPPOSEBLY" promoter get theirs in the end and they will eventually.

i just went to the wilfredo benitez foundation and dropped a few bills, although i know its not much but it's devistating to see people especially a LEGEND in that position.

MY hopes and prayers for him and his mother and i wish for nothing but the best.

I want to add , if i made somebody feel sad with this article , excuse me , i just wanted to let know everybody that as the way that Wilfredo Benitez is rigth now with his condition , he looks in certainly way that you can remember how great Champion he was ..........

THANKS GUYS.......

sad to say but it got worse this past weekend, his mom who apparently was pretty much the sole caretaker for Benitez died apparently pretty unexpectedly. Apparently she was always worried that she'd die before him because she thought he'd end up homeless, without anybody to take care of him. Sad stuff. Seems like the boxing community should do something.
