What's the SADDEST post boxing glory story?

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

 

Holyfield

 

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

 

Ray Robinson dying of Alzheimers surrounded by <strike> his loved ones and family</strike> nobody

 

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

 

Trinidad getting raped by Hopkins. That was a sad day.

 

whats funny is i know his grandson and the guy is a dick as well

 

There are so many of them, it's hard to choose just one.

 

Meldrick Taylor

 

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.

 

God yeah, his story is truly awful

 

Does he act like he's a big deal because of his grandad?

 

Quarry definitely had a bad ending.
