Forget Tyson and everyone else. Noone has it as bad as Wilfred Benitez

[Spicoli]

Max Gomez... On the back then obscure circuit here but he was a constant throwing & tricky in spots Southpaw featherweight through the 90's.Really had some crap'olla descisions go against him...while serving as the "gritty Game" also ran in some spots.Thought he beat Rudy Zavala (brutal) ,A.Vargas,Toledo and A. Sanchez amongst those looking for record padding.

[El Kabong]

Well in recent fights Andrew Golota IMO beat Chris Byrd and John Ruiz and lost decisions to both men....fucking shame, one of the best fighters to never win a belt.


As far as money it's got to be Tyson all the marketing and big money fights he has had and he's "broke" now or still in need of more money...it's crazy.

[Rotten Apple]

Tyson being broke is mostly his own fault

[porkypara]

Jack Johnson got a rough ride to put it mildly.

[Master]

Herbert Muhammad took a large percentage from Ali for many years. He must have made millions for doing very little.

I don't know why people put Tyson. Tyson was part of the most grossed ppv fight ever(later broken by pbf-oscar). He bought Mansions and all type of shit. He just blew his money, or gave it away. He got the money in his hand what he did with it was his fault. Now back to Wilfred he never received anything. Promoters claim that he did get paid but his dad would get the money and blow it. Wilfred is disabled depended on his mom to move around, and both live in a little shack with a 200 dollar paycheck he gets from the commission. Im sure Tyson gets way more then 200 DOLLARS a month and does NOT live in a shack and is not DEPENDANT on his elderly mom to get around. Tyson is living the life compared to Benitez tragic story.... ok i'll stop

Andrew Golota is nowhere even close to being the best fighter to never win a world title. He is very overrated just because he battered a fat/brain damaged Riddick Bowe around the ring.

Joe Louis... by the taxman

[leftylee]

Money wise Jose Luis Castillo of late. Still fighting to support his family and he didn't get paid a penny for the Hatton fight.

[boozeboxer]

Joe Louis... by the taxman

I was going to say this too. Was a spokesman to get black guys in the army. Then he served in the army, during segregated troop times.

Comes back and they take all his shit. That sucks.
