  • Is 2012 quite possibly the worst year in boxing history?

    Is 2012 quite possibly the worst year ever?

    Lets run down some of the happenings thus far....

    (In no particular order)
    -Paul Williams motorcycle accident ends career
    -Gamboa-Rios cancelled
    -Ortiz-Berto II halted twice, and ultimately cancelled
    -Khan-Peterson II cancelled
    -Lamont Peterson tests positive for PEDs
    -Andre Berto tests positive for PEDs
    -Tavoris Cloud Roberry vs Campillo
    -Brandon Rios Robbery vs Abril
    -James Kirkland vs Carlos Molina DEBOCLE
    -The passing of Burt Sugar
    -The passing of Johnny "Mi Vida Loca" Tapia (In the same week as Paul Williams gets paralyzed)
    -Timothy Bradley ROBBERY vs Manny Pacquiao (and quite possibly the greatest robbery in boxing history)

    O_O and this is just the stuff that I can think of off the top of my head, I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff...

    So again, my boxing knowledge in terms of it's great history is miniscule so I have to ask: Is 2012 thee worst year ever, in boxing history? Or was there another year that could top this in the number of controversies, and passings, and debocles, etc.

    Edit: And the year is not even over with yet!! half the year still to go *prays*
