Boxers Who Were Murdered

[Tatabanya]

This stuff is supposed to be in the suicide thread not the murder thread, lads.

Camacho was murdered, or I didn't get your joke...

[The Old LefHook]

Is this just a really dark joke? If so, I get it, but tackie, tackie.

Heave-ho, laddies.

Ah, you don't need to do that, if you want to break Camacho's balls there are so many great stories.

Here's just one. He owned an office/warehouse bay next to a computer repair company. They fixed his computer and he felt over charged. He refused to pay, they refused to give him back his computer. That night he took out the drop ceiling titles and crawled through the roof to the other bay to get his computer back. The ceiling titles couldn't hold his weight, he plunged to the floor and broke his ankle. Unable to climb back out he had to use the computer company's phone to call 911 for help.

See there are so many great Mancho Man stories to share.

Tomorrow I'll tell you about the naked girl who woke up an entire hotel floor at 3AM ****ing on Hector's door screaming curses.

RESPECT! Hector wasn't just a champion he was a rock star (and that goes with that).

Quite a few contenders were murdered over the years. Perhaps a result of their careers never panning out and for some just being in and out of trouble. Jeff Sims, James Salerno, Todd Hickman, Julian Letterlough, James Hughes, and some former champs too like Don Jordan, Juan Estrada, Battling Siki and Wallace Smith.

If you look up Robert Quiroga, you’ll find a little snippet how he got murdered by some biker gang member over one of the dumbest of reasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Quiroga

Former WBO heavyweight champion Corrie Sanders died a hero. Armed robbers stormed his nephew's birthday party and Sanders stepped in front of his daughter and nephew, taking two bullets, and as he was bleeding out he pulled his daughter to the ground and told her to pretend she was dead. Sanders didn't make it but his daughter and nephew did.

Frankie DePaula was a mob connected light heavy from Jersey. Took a dive for the mob in the first round of his fight with Bob Foster. A year later he was shot in his driveway and died a short time after. He was being investigated for both the dive and a prior mob case involving stolen copper. Most likely a mob hit.

I can't remember the name of the guy who fought Frampton and was killed in Mexico. He was actually hung naked, a sign of the cartel.

Sonny Liston was obviously murdered. A man, who was petrified of needles, shooting himself with a fatal dose of heroin

Arturo Gatti was obviously murdered by his wife &/or her crazy ass family in Brazil.

And what was the name of that Philly fighter from the '70s that was murdered by his girlfriend who caught him in bed with a ******?
