These are two of the worst! Are there any equal?
Clifford Etienne
Originally convicted of armed robbery and sentenced to 40 years in prison before being released and becoming a professional boxer.
Convicted again in March 2006 of attempted murder and several other charges. Etienne stole more than $1900 from a check-cashing business in August 2005, and then stole a car with two children inside before crashing it. When police responded to the scene, Etienne tried to shoot them but his gun jammed. On June 22nd 2006, he was sentenced to 150 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
James Butler
Butler started off his career by scoring 18 wins and only 1 loss in the supermiddleweight division. This led to a title fight against Sven Ottke who beat Butler by unanimous decision.
Butler's next bout earned him infamy on November 23, 2001 at the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan, New York. The bout was a charity event to benefit surviving New York firemen and police officers of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City. After losing by unanimous decision to Richard "The Alien" Grant, Butler had his gloves removed and went to Grant's side of the ring for an expected exchange of congratulations. Suddenly, Butler hit the unsuspecting Grant with a right hook to the jaw. Grant suffered a temporarily dislocated jaw and a lacerated tongue that required 26 stitches. Butler was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. Butler was later convicted and served four months at Riker's Island detention facility.
Later Butler was taken in by Sam Kellerman, the brother of Max Kellerman, as Sam Kellerman was trying to help Butler get back on his feet. After some time Sam Kellerman told Butler he has to move out so Butler snuck up behind Sam and killed him with a hammer to the back of the head. For the murder, Butler was sentenced to 29 years, four months in prison.
