      Add Crawford to that list as well

        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.
        Read my mind. A number of ex-boxers or promoters can foot the bill for a wheelchair accesible van, or help with Wilfred’s medical needs. One person doesn’t have to do it. Someone has to really take the bull by the horns and organize a fundraiser. Sadly, Benitez’s sister is already in her seventies. Who’s going to take care of him when the time comes? Same with Gerald. It’s a disgrace that these men, and others like them — like Prichard Colon — have to rely on the selfless love of their families, when there’s so much money in the sport.

          Go take that cheating **** where it belongs.
          He failed that B sample did he not ?

              Benitez was an amazing boxer, it's so hard to believe that he ended up in this damaged condition, he was untouchable at one point in his career.
              I think it was a combination of him starting so early at a high level as well as sticking around & taking beatings long after he should've stopped

              Man, Crawford's never tested positive or even been accused of anything, but by salty ass PBC marks

                It was definitely the latter, not the former, because Benitez wasn't getting hit much when he first started mesmerizing the world with his magnificent skills.

                  Sugar Ray Leonard should help a fellow legend in need, after all, together with Benitez, they produced one of the greatest boxing chess matches of all time.

                      You’d think some of the money people in boxing could chip in to buy Benitez a wheelchair accessible van.
