Which Boxer Got Ripped Off The Most

[Shamrock]

I'd go with Joe Louis too... the way he was treated was a disgrace

[Kel]

Holyfield!

He did get half his ear ripped off

[El Kabong]

I was going to say this too. Was a spokesman to get black guys in the army. Then he served in the army, during segregated troop times.

Comes back and they take all his shit. That sucks.

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

Money wise Jose Luis Castillo of late. Still fighting to support his family and he didn't get paid a penny for the Hatton fight.

Thats his own fault for not making weight for The 3rd Corrales fight, he must have known he couldnt do it after the 2nd fight but imo didnt even try that hard thinking Chicos pride would make him accept the fight again regardless of weight,

Castillo owed that money fair and square

it was the weight problem that cost him money and he did get paid during the hatton fight

dufing the fight if u hear jim lampley explain bob gave him 100k 1 month before the fight cause he was close to broke and then he got paid the other 400k after the fight i believe.....and he lost most of his money because he supports hes stupid extended family of 20ish cuz they lazy

[SaltyBacon]
