    Man, Johnson went out in a bad way.
    Cat emptied a a clip into him while DuJuan was sitting in a car during a botched drug deal.

    I heard that the drug deal was a setup, and he was killed over a debt. Any info?

    You may be right.
    DuJuan had taken to strong arming in Detroit for drug dealers, I know that much.

    You know thinking about that Rubio, several of Mr. Steward's kids wound up on the wrong side of the gun by their own hand or someone else's.
    Ricky Womack, DuJuan Johnson, and Duane Thomas all died by gunfire.
    Bernard "Superbad" Mays died of alcoholism and drug usage as well.
    I guess you can take a kid out of the streets, but you can't always take the steets out of a kid.

    Yeah. It isn't exactly the boxer-punchers who turn to strong-arming. I hadn't heard about his gang activity. It sucks.

    Well, now that you've got me depressed, think of these names:
    • Caveman Lee - Last I heard, he was in some shithole Texas prison
    • Gerald McClellan - Blind and brain dead
    • Aaron Pryor - Drugs
    • Sugar Ray Leonard - Drugs
    • Lennox Lewis - Gay
    Sorry, I needed to add some levity.

    I forgot all about Caveman, good call.
    The day he was released from prison the first time, he attempted to rob a bank upon his release.
    He is "Institutionalized" as Stephen King so aptly put it in the "Shawshank Redemption".
    Most fight fans recall him for his first round KO loss to Marvin Hagler in a bid for the middleweight title, but those who watched it will never forget that war he had with John LoCicero on ESPN though, huh?
