Re: Which Boxer Got Ripped Off The Most
Well to be truthful with Joe Louis' service helped desegregate the Army at least during his exhibition matches along with desegregating the PGA tour. He did a lot of good stuff and yeah he did get ripped off big time.
Gerry Cooney being used by Don King and then destroyed by Larry Holmes...his management did him wrong.
Hell famous boxers dying homeless or pennyless isn't out of the ordinary. Boxing is usually rags to riches to rags
