Boxers Who Died Young

[CubanGuyNYC]

Looking over that ring deaths list I'm reminded of a few things I've forgotten.

Anthony Jones, Kronk fighter & long time contender, also died in the ring.

Emiliano Valdez killed a guy 2wks before his fight with Teddy Reid while sparring. He received severe injuries himself in the Reid fight that kept him in a coma for 2yrs before passing.

And Sugar Ramos killed a 2nd person in the ring, Jose Blanco, earlier in his career well before the Davey Moore death.

Yes! I’d forgotten. Ramos might be the only professional boxer (or at least the only one I’m aware of) that killed two men in his career.

All very sad.

James Shuler and Davey Moore(jrm).

Davey Moore was listed. James “Black Gold” Shuler (26) is a new addition. Thanks.

I remember that guy & reading this before. Crazy sh^t.

Wasn't there some Russian guy who fought on TV a few times in the 90s who came up missing & his body was found later in a ravine or something all chopped up?

Edit.

Yes this cat.

Sergei Kobozev (31). Terrible story.

There were two Davey Moore's however. I might have missed the other but first Davey M. died as a result of a fight against Sugar Ramos. The other was a young champ known mainly for losing his junior middleweight title to Roberto Duran. This Davey Moore died at 29 because his vehicle rolled down the drive way accidently
killing him.

Esteban de Jesus

Good call. 37 years old.

Sonny Liston, at least 39, many speculate older.

What could have become of Valero... 27-0 with all finishes

He was sent to psychiatric rehabilitation at one point when he again assaulted his wife but unfortunately that did not seem to end as we know what happened in the end

No problem!
