    Valero got no sympathy from me based on the crime he committed.

    I was a few miles away from were Forrest was killed that night in Atlanta so that made the news more shocking to me. But i'd probably go with Diego, boxing hasn't been the same without him.
    Two things, one, I didn't have a lot of sympathy for Diego Corrales, either, because he was sentenced to prison (originally for six years) for beating the living crap out of his PREGNANT wife. Just because she didn't die (like Valero's wife) and their child didn't die (either or both of which could've easily happened) didn't make it better.

    And two, he was done fighting when he died. He hadn't won a fight in two years before he died. And in his last fight he didn't win a round.

    So I don't know how it really changed boxing with him being dead.

          Yeah, I wish he would have fought Pacquiao, so Manny could have beats 7 bells out of him.
