Comments Thread For: Wilfred Benitez Has Been Dealing With The Ravages of The Ring For a Long Time

I wish Leonard, Duran, and Hearns would put together a fundraiser and pitch in some serious money of their own.

God bless all these men and their supporting families and friends. More should be done in terms of support. This sport is worth a fortune, so why can’t it support these people? I remember both the fights involving Benitez vs Leonard as a youngster, and much later the bout between our very own Nigel Benn vs Gerald McClellan and thought after the latter fight after Nigel Benn stated, “whats don king doing for him?, he’s worth 900 million” is anybody gonna help that bloke? and it was true but from here, I couldn’t see anybody doing anything for that poor man other than his blessed sister with a gift to care. Bless them all.

Heartbreaking. One of the best pure boxers ever. Strange. He was a fighter who took about half the punches others did. LaMotta was speaking clearly at 90, after taking 4 times as much punishment.

Any of boxing's bigwigs could buy el Radar a lot full of vans without noticing it. Where is Arum, De La Hoya, Maywewather, Warren, King and the rest of them? Where is Sugar Ray Leonard, who took his first title from Wilfred and was a near family member once?

Good will does not interest the bigwigs. No money in it.

From what I recall, Wilfred had the same issue James Toney did. He sparred A LOT! That what contributed to his current state, especially since he was sparring so much, so hard at a young age. He was completely done before 30. Really sad.

This is why cheaters like Canelo Alvarez and Big Cheat Miller need to be permanently banned from boxing. They go in there with the artificial ability to end people's lives or injure them permanently.

Hear, hear.

Perma-bans for all the PEDs users and their records updated to NC or removed entirely from the history books.

Stfu what canelo did a fat burner and what Miller did two different worlds

Taking a banned substance that allows a larger man to fight against smaller fighters in a weight class he shouldn’t be in is 100% risking someone’s life. Go tell Amir Khan that it’s not a big deal or isn’t a significant risk because it’s a “fat burner”.

I was looking Wilfred up one day, wondering why we never see him much and stumbled across a video chronicling his post-career troubles. It was shocking.

What about Cheats like James Toney, BJs, Fury, Roy Jones, Floyd Mayweather( arguably the biggest cheat of them all), Shane mosley **** even cheating females like Beaumgardner etc etc

Youll have to go back quite a bit if that's the case.

Same world. In addition to burning fat

Clenbuterol dramatically increases skeletal muscle mass in young animals and humans, and partially prevents or restores muscle loss in experimental models of muscle wasting. Clenbuterol isn't a steroid, but it has some properties similar to those of anabolic steroids, such as promoting an increase in muscle mass.

so not only can he spend less time doing cardio to lose weihht (and when doing cardio some muscle is also generally lost as well) he is also building lean muscle. The same muscle that helps him move quicker and punch harder.

no he wasn’t (caught) on 10 different drugs like Miller, but PED is PED. It ain’t weed he was using.

Canelo unlike Miller, Fury, bjs, Floyd, Roy Jones, mosley etc proved his innocence...he took follow up test and hair samples while those other guys didn't and you still glorify them. Lol

Go take that cheating **** where it belongs.
