How many of you feel bad for Gerald Mcclellan?

Whatever you think of his acts before his injury took place, the person he is now certainly doesn't deserve to be in the condition he is in. Chances are that he would have gone onto be a better person like a lot of people who have come from difficult surroundings but he never was given the chance. In fact I heard that he had pretty much given up on the dog-fighting business after one of his favorite dogs was injured, but that's all hear-say and we don't really know anything for sure about what took place. What we do know for sure is that he was injured tragically in the ring, and no practitioner of the sport deserves such a fate even when the risk exists.

You know who has it worse? Wilfred Benitez. He lives in a shack in PR, no fund raisers for him.

I personally feel bad. It's sad to see where he's at. Here's a video and a picture of him and Benn reunited. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/iceveins/gmanbenn3-1.jpg

You guys have no idea what actual dog fighting is like. Gerald probably loved his pits as much as his own kids. Besides he would not be the only boxer to be involved in dog fights/cock fights *cough* RJJ *cough*

This is not a shiit talk thread on him. It's a serious question. I was watching Benn-McClellan on youtube, and there were some mixed responses. Given what he did (dog fighting, animal abuse), how many of you feel bad, and how many of you think he deserved it or it's karma? Me, personally, I think it's horrible what he did, but at the same time, that kind of stuff is a culture in certain areas. It doesn't make it right though. It's still upsetting to see people end up the way he did. It is what it is. If you are a boxer you pretty much know the risk. But he is a good example because why I laugh about ppl who cry that real boxers aren't warriors - scarred or stuff like that. These ppl want to see that they let their life in the ring and after they did what then??? Nobody cares about them anymore. Nobody pays their bills from medical care etc. For what should they let their life in the ring. If a fighter chooses too ok but if a fighter quits in a fight because he takes a beating and he knows he has no chance I also have no problem if he quits. This doesn't decide if you are warrior. I mean you would never call Morales a quitter and he quit against Pacquiao III. Sometimes you need to know what is best for yourselves. With McClellan as I heard he already had a brain injury or something like that from sparring but nobody noticed it and well, what happened is sad. But in a sport like boxing where the goal is to hit someone you can't expect that your health will be 100% after you're done

Gerald started feeling headaches since the Julian Jackson fight, probably started from there. I do feel bad for someone to be physically immobile and mentally incabaple of doing regular day things by himself. Even my worst enemy I wouldnt wish that upon them, so yes I feel bad for him.

Never like to see that befall anyone, someone can make up or at least try to make up for any evil they have done, even if they don't at least there is that possibility. There is nothing for someone in his current state.
