In fairness in the heat of battle people say & do f#cked up things. I've wanted & wished bad things on people in lesser moments out of negative emotions in the past, but I'd hate to have had my wants or wishes realized now in retrospect for the sake of those people & my own regrets if something bad did happen to them in that moment that I had wanted to happen.
In my eyes the ref should've DQ'd Williams before things got as sh^tty as they did. Idk if that changes the ultimate outcome for Colon or not, but I think his chances woulda been a whole lot better.
Also its worth noting that Williams hasn't fought in the year & a half or so since that fight so its not like he's walked away from this situation completely unscathed. I've been of the opinion that these sorts of incidents in boxing tend to end both guys' career more often then not.
Not that that should be any consultation for anyone, but just saying these situations are often more complicated life situations that aren't easily dealt with for everyone involved.
Yea I also tend to think this way myself when these super active competitive people get turned into guys lying in bed almost all day just watching the world happen in front of them. If Colon still has anything left from his former self he must feel like he's in a kind of prison living in that body now.
And if he doesn't have anything left whats the point in keeping this person who's only their son, brother or whatever alive in physical form only? Probably just the illegality of ending ones own life in some cases I'd imagine & the lack of any documentation by boxers for how things should be handled if they ever get to the point they are in.
Boxers should make wills or deals with family members to whatever extent they can when they are of sound mind. Just let me die if I'm not able to be who I am or if things get to the point they are with Colon just have some close sketchy cousin/relative or loved one agree to take me out with a OD of some drug/pill or whatever.
Awful situation regardless doe & is just one of those things you tend to get used to happening in boxing from time to time as awful as that might be to get used to.

Why keep him that way though? I'm sure his family knows that he's likely just suffering at this point, and they're all just suffering too. If he can send them some type of message i'd imagine it be to end his life.
