[Rick Grimes]

Aaron Pryor assaulted his mother.

[Danny Gunz]

punching is so 60's... only the good boxers kill their wives now

[Fights.]

I didn't know Ali or Leonard ever punched their wives.

About Ali punching his wife:

From Sugar Ray Robinson book, Pound for Pound - Muhammad Ali took his wife into the bathroom and beat her.

The reason? His wife's skirt is short.

From Ali's biography The Greatest - When Robinson tried to intervene, Ali shouted "Ray, you ain't nothin' but a middleweight!"

Floyd's domestic abuse case is in a few days.
Here are boxers who punch their wife/girlfriend:

Ali
Arturo Gatti
Carlos Monzon
Diego Corrales
Edwin Valero
Evander Holyfield
Floyd Mayweather
Ike Ibeaubuchi
Jack Johnson
Jake Lamotta
Joe Frazier (added by GrandpaBernard)
Marvin Hagler
Mike Tyson
Riddick Bowe
Sugar Ray Leonard
Sugar Ray Robinson



Who else?
WHY?

this has just reminded me that Floyd said during the build-up to the Corrales match (it had been made public that Corrales beat his wife at that point) that he would beat Corrales for all the women victims of violence out there

the irony

add Joe Louis to he list........

[Fights.]

Here's a good one. Ali divorced his first wife after he converted to Moslemism. Why.....??

Because she wouldn't wear a dress down to her ankles and walk 3 paces behind him. As well as being almost illiterate he was also nuts.

From Muhammad Ali: The Whole Story - Ali also like teenagers. One of his girlfriend was 16 or 17 and Ali was about 33.

It is rumored he put a bomb in her car when he found out she had a lover. No one was injured, fortunately. Does it qualify?

[Rick Grimes]

Michael Spinks - Assaulted his girlfriend

thanks for sharing this. Someone once told me Ali had domestic issues, but this is the first time I seen the proof for it.

Isn't it hypocritical for Sugar Robinson to interfere with another man's wife beating?
