    Shot brain damaged Riddick Bowe doing MUAY THAI ? Joe Frazier's one although I don't remember the details was pretty sad too. Who else? I bet there is a lot

    No way. Holy still fights sure but he still looks great and wouldn't wash your car for 20 bucks.

    Kirkland Laings life went downhill pretty fast from the moment his hand was raised against Duran.

    Of the all time greats I'd say Sonny Liston or Joe Louis

    He was a dick, though

    Ezzard Charles wasting away of ALS is infinitely more depressing

    That's not a post boxing story, that's a current/present boxing story. It was also a glorious day.

    Yeah, I guess Jerry Quarry is the saddest story of them all, by a long long ways too.

    Quarry. Quarry had brain damage and was also being filled with pills by his brother {the non-boxing one, so I guess he had the brains} to make him manageable and malleable. When Jerry had nothing left he was left to rot. He actually died of pneumonia in the end.
