Boxing most tragic figures.

[Zelley]

Rubin Hurricane Carter. Getting robbed of a life and career for a crime he did not commit.

I'm not so sure he did not commit the crime to be honest though. Fair enough if you watch the film he didn't but he was never proven innocent and even after reading 2 different books (one of which he wrote himself, another which was written on his behalf) I'm not sold.

In fact there were so many lies in the film, I think that is what has made me so dubious as to whether or not he really is innocent.

Back in the day, I remember writing to one of the boxing magazines to give my reasons why RUBIN "Hurricane" CARTER WAS INNOCENT. Well my friend it was
very clear to me based on some of the original evidence concerning the description of
the shooter. It was based on size, little Rubin did not match the description and that
is all I have to say about that.
