What Boxers had their careers sidetracked or ended because of alcohal or drugs?

I come to think of Paul Spadafora, who was a drunk and drug attic now has the problem of jail time for shooting his girlfriend. he is 38-0.

Antonio Tarver..........

Arturo Gatti had much more than a drinking problem, as evidenced by his 1998 arrest for ******* possession. Some other notable fighters who struggled with the snow were Aaron Pryor, Pernell Whitaker, and Paul Spadafora. Alexis Arguello, Julio Cesar Chavez, and Hector Camacho also liked to shovel.

If I recall correctly, Whitaker had a decision overturned for testing positive for perrico.

Paul Spadafora may have been the biggest drug addict in boxing history. An alcoholic since he was 12 years old, he struggled mightily with the bottle through out his career. In a 2004 sentencing hearing for attempted murder, he broke down on the stand and admitted he was a coke addict. After a brief rehab stint, he was sentenced to boot camp. And to think, hes still undefeated.

Antonio Tarver..........

Antonio Tarver struggled with crack ******* in the early 90's.

Kirkland Lang...i havent heardabout him for a couple of years but the guy is a chronic alcholic the last i heard,its a sad thing to say but i know cos he used to go round my uncles flat who is also a chronic alkie. my uncle has moved now doesnt see him no more.my uncles place was an alkies den and the stories he told me about Kirkland were sad. its a shame cos he was such a gifted boxer with a unique style.

he was known to smoke weed aswell.

Aaron Pryor springs to mind but there have been so so many

[joshyp18]

frank bruno was a cokehead and got sent to a mental institution because he wanted to kill himself.

Hawk Time!

I always think of Pryor because of how absolutely dominating he could've been if he hadn't messed up his life/career.

Somewhat recently, Scott Pemberton got in a whole mess of **** with *******.
