Have any boxers died?

I think Ricky Hatton died for at least 10 seconds when Pac hit him with the left hook in that fight. Makes me wonder if he actually saw heaven and met Jesus. Peace. I couldn't help but to laugh out loud. Karma given.

There's incredible risk in boxing, but the odds of you or someone else dying is one to millions. No it's not. Around 1% is more accurate which is not so low. Changes in the Collection over Time The number of deaths documented by the Velazquez Collection has grown over time. See Table 1 for details. Table 1 Update Fatalities listed July 2000 938 December 2001 1,101 January 2004 1,197 May 2005 1,255 April 2006 1,326 December 2006 1,344 November 2007 1,465 The facile explanation for these increases is that boxers continue to die of ring injuries. In a literal sense, this explanation is true. Since July 2000, when Electronic Journals of Martial Arts and Sciences began publishing analysis based on the Manuel Velazquez Collection, at least 60 boxers and Toughman fighters have died. Nevertheless, the only reason that the listing has grown by a third since July 2000 is that research is ongoing, especially into the years before World War II.

The odds of post-career mental and physical health issues are very high, however. Yeah, that's why I said dying. There aren't many solid numbers on retired boxers, so no one can really be sure how high the odds are or if they're high in the first place.

this is why they changed from 15 to 12 rounds Do you think they will ever lower it again?

This makes me not want to box.... His brain was seperated from everything... There's incredible risk in boxing, but the odds of you or someone else dying is one to millions.

It was an accumulation of punches he was taking throughout the fight he had with Mancini but I think it was a quick flurry combo that put Kim down.It has been so long since I have seen that fight. I will never forget how Du Ku Kim fell to the canvas and the empty look he had in his eyes. It was a sick morbid reality to our sport. Peace. yep. after he got knock down by mancini, he still got up and fought like a warrior that fight had to stop in 10 round. his corner and trainer make him died not mancini. i'm so proud of him. he showed us the spirit.

Another fight in which resulted in a death was Emile Griffith fight with Benny Paret. That was sick because right before the fight Benny was taunting Emile terribly and Emile erupted in the ring with these devastating punches which of course resulted in tragedy. Peace.
