Damn TheManchine, I have been looking all over for that pic in your sig, I was going to put that in either my avatar or sig. Its crazy that those three guys Cus, Floyd, and Jose are all dead now.
I always wondered what kind of relationship did Mike have with Floyd and Jose.
As for Kellerman boys, they had skills. I knew they used to rap but I never actually saw their video before til now. Anybody who says that they are wack, I dare you to compare that to the garbage rap that is out there now. Hel there isn't even rapping anymore, everyone wantsto be a singer now.Comment

Yeah this story was crazy because of what everyone said above. The Kellerman's knew and liked Butler. Sam took the Hammer in and was actually killed by a Hammer. One thing no one has said and that sticks out in my head the most is that Butler was the guy who broke another guys jaw after the fight not too long before this. If there was one thing that Butler could do, it was punch. He had mad power. After he clearly lost a tough fight and "after" his trainers had already cut off his gloves, he went to shake hands with his opponent and during the handshake he yoked the guy in and struck him with his right non gloved hand and all you saw was blood pouring down from the guys jaw.from his bio
Murder of brother
On October 17, 2004, the body of Max's brother Sam was found next to a hammer in his Hollywood apartment. As a result of the ensuing investigation, former boxer James Butler was arrested and charged with Sam's murder. He later confessed to the murder and was given a 29 year sentence.
When Adam Carolla's manager was inviting Kellerman to the premiere of his new boxing film, The Hammer, he did not know that Sam Kellerman's murder was committed by Butler, who was known as "The Harlem Hammer".
Now I know people on here did cover that somewhat but they thing I was talking about was what happened after this. The announcers including Teddy Atlas were irate and all the media killed him. 99.9% of the people said that Butler was a thug that should never ever be allowed to fight again after that and he's a discrace but who came to his defense? Max Kellerman. Max was on FNF's full time at that point and he's probably the sole reason why Butler was allowed to fight again. Max thought what Butler did was downright horrible but he said that Butler was a good guy who came up rough and he doesnt think that they should take away his whole lively hood after 1 mistake, although it was a bad one. Max was so good at defending him that I remember he actually made alot of others change there minds and want to give him a 2nd shot, including Atlas.
I think Butler ended up with like a 6month or year long suspension and came back. He also did an interview on FNF's after that with Max and apologized for the incident. That was the thing I thought about the most after the murder. How Max was the only guy who defended this cat and saved his boxing life and soon after the guy kills his brother? It was the saddest thing everComment
