Personally I would not wish this on anyone and I feel sorry for his kids being robbed of their father to a certain degree. Thats my opinion and I can't argue against someone elses opinion as they are entitiled to it. Some people feel so strongly about certain things and thats a good thing too.

Boxing offers many people a road out of a bad life and perhaps he could have turned his behaviour outside the ring around. When I read some of the stories about him they really horrified me and seeing what happened to the him in the ring was horrifying as well. Like I say as a fan of boxing he was a tremendous boxer. The whole thing though is a terrible story from start to finish.

A tragic story from so many angles no matter what your opinion is .
very True ! CC
