Comments Thread For: Michael Dokes - Former Champ is Fighting Cancer Battle

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former world heavyweight champion Michael Marshall "Dynamite" Dokes is fighting the good fight but his opponent may be unbeatable.

Dokes, who will turn age 54 in August, is said to be in "the later rounds" of a debilitating battle with stomach and liver cancer. The one-time WBA champion, who compiled a 53-6-2 record with 34 KOs and who lost by a single point to three time Olympic gold medalist Teofilo Stevenson of Cuba in the 1975 Pan American Games, is living with a sister in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.

Don't give up, keep fighting. We are all pulling for you, Mike.

Mike had a tough career that placed him in the ring with many greats and suffered severe ******* addiction that eventually led to violent domestic problems. He did his time and has now been dealt a real lousy hand.
Stay strong Champ. You haver fought the good fight many times over.

Holyfield Dokes was incredulous

Great boxer but the guy did go to prison I believe for a brutal **** and beating of his girlfriend. Article states: After he was arrested and charged with beating and confining his then-live-in girlfriend for more than six hours in August 1998 -- police at the time said the woman's nose, eye socket and jaw were broken. Not a real sympathetic character even though I wouldn't wish cancer
On him

stay strong Michael
