    Paul Williams obviously (though it's arguable he was still one)

    Damn, he's lucky to survive that and I heard he was thrown from the car too. Likely wasn't wearing his seat belt if that's the case. Sounds like he'll make a full recovery so he's a lucky boy.

    Don't you mean Paul Williams?

    Danny Jacobs had cancer, it didn't kill him, and he went on to have his best performances and biggest fights thereafter.

    Corrales career was already done when he crashed his bike.

    Yeah, Corrales' career was basically finished when he died.

    That MIGHT be a contributing factor for why he was drunk off his ass and speeding on his bike.

    Besides Sal Sanchez, another elite fighter who died in a car accident at the PEAK of his powers was flyweight Masao Ohba in the 70s. Like Sanchez, he was 23.

    Ohba was quite good. Definitely worth Youtubing him if you're not familiar. Very likely would have been a HOFmer if he hadn't died.

    Masao Ohba (大場 政夫, October 21, 1949 – January 25, 1973) was a professional boxer from Tokyo, Japan. He became the WBA flyweight champion on October 22, 1970, defeating the reigning champion Berkrerk Chartvanchai in Tokyo and retained the championship for an impressive five title defenses. He died in a car accident at 23, still holding his world title


    Which is probably why he fucking crashed.

    If You Watch the Video Closely You Can See His Body Launched Out of the Vehicle Along w/Debris, in the Dust Cloud...

    REED Didn't Notice it Initially...Creepy Ass Shit...And No, he Wasn't Wearing a Seat Belt...In a Weird Way that's What SAVED Him in this Instance, More Than Likely...

    REED Would Like to Think it's IMPOSSIBLE to Watch Video of YOURSELF in a Situation Like That and NOT Make Some Lifestyle Adjustments...

    Lost Some Teeth, Got Some Road Rash, a Concussion but NO Broken Bones...Amazing!!!

    Man even as I turn 50 this year, give me a Ferrari and a stretch of road and I'm pinning that throttle to the firewall and holding on. Fuck all this pussy "oh that's irresponsible" shit - pin it, bin it, win it - or die trying.

    Yeah, if you were a Corrales fan, the fight with Clottey was rough to watch.

    I think he had alcohol problems for awhile though. Wasn’t he drunk when he beat the hell out of his pregnant wife? Maybe his career going downhill caused him to drink more.

    Same with Gatti, he had substance abuse problems for awhile and maybe got worse after his career ended. I think he very likely had CTE as well.

    He's been charged with DUI. I bet it gets canceled. Just tell everyone he ate some meat with alcohol in it.
