    I think Jesse James was found in a snake infested swamp, if I remember correctly. Hughes was murdered during the hottest streak of his boxing career.

    In an era of everyone getting their 15 minutes, Gilberto Roman truly is grotesquely ignored by even sites as good as this.

    Kid Akeem/Quiroga was an amazing fight, sadly Robert was taken from us too early as well....

    Was trying to get some tranfers done the other night and watched that Akeem-Quiroga war again. Just brutal and how Akeem just fell out on live tv, laying there. Quiroga was a warrior, saw the match with Borboa on the end and that was just harsh.
    Too often too soon, have to say Morrison also. Corrie Sanders. I guess if you have to go though, defending your kids is at the top of the list. Johnny Tapia!!
