    Davey Moore dying in a freak accident at 29 when he was crushed by his car and the garage door.

    Carlos Monzon dying in a car crash near the prison he was returning to.

    I personally find it a bit hard to consider Monzon's death a tragedy considering he was in prison for killing his wife.

    McLellan, Quarry, Corrales, I haven't read through the whole thread but I'm guessing the obvious names are there.

    2 local ones I can think of are James Oyebola & John Kacsu Abbey both murdered near the area I live in recent years.

    There's also the scores of guys we know nothing about whose lives end in tragedy.

    I see Holyfield's desperation as a tragedy in itself, but there's many like him.

    Shit, I feel depressed now.

    Yeah he was almost cut in half in his own garage no less. The other Davey Moore dies after his fight with Ramos.

    Fitting end to Monzon
