Funny How Life Takes Away

I'm not supersticious, but he near enough cheated death in the ring, so who knows?

We should be happy more than anything, for all he gave us.

Another thing which hasnt been mentioned yet is the irony in all, this,

This guy could have died in the ring with all the wars he had,

But instead he dies in an accident, on a brand new bike he bought last week, on the anniversary of his greatest ever win.

What do you think, What it his time to go?

Does it confirm to you perhaps somethings beyond our control happen for a reason?

Would like to know.

I worked with a Vietnam Vet once that survived the **** receiving a purple heart in the process. Thirty years later he was walking on his wet porch slipped hit his head on his gas BBQ grill and was grave yard dead. Life is funny sometimes.

Well Joggers trying to lead a healthy life get hit by cars all the time......I guess **** just happens.

We have no control over life, when our time comes up, it comes up, some people live up to 100, some people die young, it's just ****ed up and none of us knows what happens after we die.

Life is short enjoy life as much as you can, you will never know when your time will come up.

Sad, but true, you never know when it's your time. A few years ago I called up a friend and said I was coming over. I drove over there and as I got out the car his daughter came out yelling that he was having a heart attack. He never regained conscienceness. He was only 40, was active in Martial Arts, and had no fat on his body. And six months before he had passed a complete physical to get his pilots' license.

Thats incredible, i think it works both ways too, i wrote about this because i know i got myself into a **** load of trouble once, and was on the edge, near the end of the road as i knew it, and i got myself into this mess because of a series of chance encounters and disscusions i had with certain people,

The last couple years of my life have been hell at times, and it turned that way on the basis of a few split second decisons that changed everything.

Then i realised.

I think the decisions were made for me, and i had to go through and still go through lots of pain before i could ever contemplate being a good person again,

Dunno if that makes sense, but im only 21 and seen and felt some weird things, before i realised some things happen for a reason.

life is a crazy prick of a thing. way too fragile. shows you just have to live it at 100 percent make the most of whatever you're allocated.

i can hardly think of a boxer in the sport who could inspire this kind of reaction from the fans.

**PBF G.O.A.T** · 05-08-2007, 09:43 AM

personally i belive everything happens 4 a reason
ide hate 2 say this but i guess it was his time to go.....
u never want 2 see somthing tracic as this.
like wat was sed he could have died in the ring
doing what he loved

R.I.P Diego Corrales
gone but not 4gotten

**Gareth Ivanovic** · 05-08-2007, 11:03 AM

It makes you think sometimes. Why does a great man like Corrales die and not some piece of **** on the street that offers nothing to anybody. That bothers me sometimes, but like many of you have said sometimes your time comes and there's nothing you could do about it. Sometimes Life throws that left hook you couldn't see.
