I was going to start a thread about this a while actully...i wonder why he did it?

[GreatestIam]

he said it wasnt his fault that dude coulda been a GOAT... this is from *************.com

Here's what the WBO Middleweight Champion had to say durring our telephone conversation:

Hello Champ, we heard about your automobile accident in Africa. How do you feel now?

Ike, I'm getting better. I'm just here watching some movies on TV. Thank God, I'm still here. It was a bad accident but we're still here.My heart goes out to all the families affect by this. It was an accident not my fault, the driver made a wrong turn and jumped in front of me. I was driving straight while he was making a turn. I broke my right hand and leg in this accident but my Doctor told me he'll release me soon. He told me I should be back in ring in two months. I'm feeling stronger everyday. I'll undergo some therapy then I'll be back again. When I come back I want a fight with Hopkins. I was going to fight Felix Trinidad but he didn't want to fight me he went and fought the guy I already beat Hacine Cherifi. I want to do achieve what Trinidad couldn't which is to beat Hopkins.

From ************* couldnt get the link to work

Simon was found guilty of culpable homicide last year and
as of now, he is appealing the case.
He most likely will be heading to jail for a 4 year sentence
should be the appeal fail.
Two years were cut automatically, so it would be a 2 year imprisonment.
(Don't ask me about the punishment, this is Namibian law.)

I remember reading that it was like the 5th or 6th accident Simon had while driving drunk. The article also said that alot of people in his country were mad at him because of all the accidents he has had.

Winky was ****ing robbed.They declared the fight a draw and then the crowd went ****ing crazy because it was somewhere in Africa and a huge pro-Simon crowd so they came back out and declared Simon the winner.He is obviously a good fighter to have it even that close and I don't know where the **** he is now but just thought I would throw this in there.
