      not to mention Panama Lewis probably messed around with Pryors drink inbetween rounds causing Arguello to take a massive beating...

      he became a drug addicted after that and eventually committed suicide

      other stories ..

      1.Edwin Valero really promising fighter with a record of 27-0 27 KO's

      Killed his wife ...If I remember correctly I think he shot her while she was pregnant, he then later committed suicide while in jail although some people think he was murdered.

      2. Max Kellerman's brother killed by another boxer he was living with... he beat him to death with a hammer

      also when it comes to Ali a lot of people like to think the best of him because of his incredible accomplishments but the guy was far from a saint.
      He used to beat his wife infront of people for wearing her dress above her knees .
      He stabbed her if i remember corretly and i dont think she was pregnant doesnt make it any less tragic.I personally dont believe he was murdered although it's possible i just think he was mentally ****ed in the head went on a bad coke binge killed his wife in a rage and when he came down realsising what he did killed himself.What happened to Kellermans brother is awful too that James Butler is an evil ****er.

          Read about the life and death of Alexis Arguello. Seeing what an outstanding gentleman he always was and then knowing how he went out is heartbreaking.

                    Also, the recent story of the guy in my avatar, 2008 olympic bronze medalist, he had four fights as a pro and looked really promising, the UK and Ireland were buzzing over him and really took to him as he seemed like a really genuine young guy, little did we all know he'd suffered from depression for a while and dispite having the world at his feet he took his own life by hanging himself, his manager who was also a close friend found him hanging and had a heart attack
