    4 boxers dead, countless injuries and fight delays, pull outs, hospitalised fighters, title belt controversies, what ever next boxing scene?

    Fight wise this has been one of the weakest years in a long time. It looks like the last 4 months are going to be really good though.

          It looked like it was gonna be one of the best for years before it started... then everything went downhill...

          I thought it was 3 Boxers dead? Arguello, Gatti, Forrest, am i missing one?
