Saddest moments in boxing

[Feint]

You know, maybe it makes me cynical or inhumane or something, but I'm not nearly as saddened by a ring death as I am by something like Ali or Taylor. It might just be the way I am, but I would rather die than live the rest of my life extremely crippled or handicapped.

So when I see or hear about someone dying in the ring, I'm glad that they won't have to suffer through years or decades of daily punishment just from waking up in the morning and doing everyday tasks.

No, I don't think it makes you inhumane. It's a fair point. I also think a lot of people would agree with you. I am just one of those people that would rather be alive no matter what. So when I see a boxer dies it effects me more than a life-long injury (which is also a tragedy) because not only does it make me feel horrible for that boxer and his family, it makes me think of my own mortality.

on theTaylor-Chavez fight, Steele didnt know there were exactly 2 seconds left, and didn't want to risk Taylor getting killed/paralysed. When you look at Taylor now, can you look back and blame Steele??

The saddest moment in boxing is when the three major networks Abc,Nbc, and Cbs decided that boxing was no longer a sport that should receive coverage. I have hundreds of fights in my collection that were from free TV and they are the type of fights that today you have to pay on cable or on PPV to see. The networks would rather show gymnastics,rodeo,golf,Nascar,horse racing,volleyball than boxing. A BIG middle finger goes to the executives that made the decison to kill boxing.

Watching ruelas kill jimmy garcia. Someone recorded that and then showed it to me. That was pretty bad.

taylor and chavez...the thing that i was really in shock is that he could barely talk....he has been so much beating....but it piss me off that the boxing comitte didn't do **** on taking his boxing licesense

Richard Steele was a ***** for that **** he cost that man that fight and his moment of glory for all the hard work he had put in his whole career. You acting like he was out of it like Trevo Burbick in the Tyson fight or Zab Judah in the Kosta Tyzu fight. If I was boxer Richard Steele would never ref my fights.

Did you want Taylor to die in that fight? He took a pretty bad beating all during the fight. Watch it again, you will see Chavez landing clean hard shots thru out. Taylor was to brave for his own good.

[McNulty]

Chaves.Taylor was a tough one...especially on that HBO show when they show Taylor now all a mess.

The fights that really bothered me were:
Tyson.Douglas
RJj.Tarver 2
RJj.Johnson

The saddest thing on boxing i ever saw was that HBO special on Ray Robinson...Bright Lights, Dark Shadows. Nothing can be sadder.

I have this tape somewhere, but I refuse to watch it. It took me awhile to even watch Benn and G-Man fight.
