    Well I hate to be all "Donny Downer" on the forum, but I think this topic is big in this sport, we've had so many All-Time Greats and Champions that have had tough lives inside and outside the ring and I think it helps explain why boxing is not only a sport, but it's like a family.

    Micahel Watson after his 2nd fight with Eubank. He is in a much better state now but he will never fully recover!

    although he's not dead, I think Joe Frazier has had a very tough and unfair life. I've kept the HBO documentary on my Tivo "Thrilla in Manilla" and every time its still sad to see where he has had to end up living, living the rest of his life bitter about what should have been the greatest moment of his life.
    The key is Self-discipline.

    Biggest tragedy ever was when I decided to spend $44.95 on the Sultan Ibragimov-Evander Holyfield PPV.

    I remember catching on TV a segment that featured the health risks involved for athletes who are in the demanding contact sports like boxing, MMA, football, and etc. Mainly the segment was about the cerebral damages that is directly caused by the very violent nature of these disciplines, which at times can be permanent or even fatal.

    It showcased the premature deaths of brothers Mike and Jerry Quarry. Both these men, were boxers as we all know, but what we don't exactly know is that both suffered irreparable and irreversible brain damages after their ring careers were over. These damages inflicted atop the ring, tragically led to their early demise.

    Comparatively, it was indicated that the Quarry brothers had a genetic flaw that allowed for an inordinate level of cerebral damage than those sustained by the average boxer.

    Mike, the younger of the two and Jerry, six years apart at birth, both died only in their mid-fifties. They were only 55 and 54 years of age respectively, at the time of their deaths.

    The medical term that is attributed to the cause of Mike and Jerry Quarry's death is pugilistic dimentia. In my layman's term, it is a severe case of being perpetually "punched drunk", if you will.
