Bless Wilfred, Yvonne and her husband. Hopefully, they can get the minivan sooner than later.
We all should send a few $$ to help out... but the wealthy in this sport should really step up.

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

Tommy is pretty broke himself. I don't know about Duran. Sugar Ray is worth something like 400 million.

Boxers should have Disability Insurance and Health Insurance. With all of the money floating around in boxing , there's got to be a way to set something aside from every event to insure the fighters. What makes everything like that hard is the fractured nature of the sport , no one is in charge , and no one is responsible. It's everyone on their own.

Hear, hear.

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

The worst is what that piece of **** Margarito and his trainer Capetillo did. They should have been in prison and banned from boxing. If I were Cotto , they both would have just disappeared one day , never to be seen again. California is a big place with lots of wilderness and hungry wild animals.

Victor Conte anyone?

Victor Conte, what?

You have no proof, not even any credible allegations.

I'm guessing you're just a scorned PBC/Spence fan made that Crawford eviscerated your guy.

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.

Did a cheater put G Man and Wilfred in the situations that they are in ?!?!?

Think carefully, then edit your comment.

Instead of mansions and luxury carS, they should plan for the future.
KNOWING boxing is not there for them when they retire.
How many broke boxers will it take for boxers to save their own asses in retirement ?!?!?!?!?

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.

Much Respect for quoting Ezra Pound.

Would you follow Eustace Mullins work ?

Resto, Golota, and Margarito are the types of cheater the sport doesn't need.
Drug ''cheats'', not so much.

2 things boxers should do, but won't -
Get out while you still have brain function
SAVE YOUR MONEY !

Godspeed.

I remember Iceman John Scully was selling off items to help him and others out ..I wonder if he still doing that

Yes, I actually just sent him (his sister) some money a few days ago. I spoke to her today actually. Working on something for her as we speak. Unfortunately, the need for help NEVER stops. She has essentially given up everything to care for her brother.
