Which fighter's untimely death saddened you the most?

Out of these fighters (I'm not including guys who died of old age or from boxing-related injuries...oh and I'm not including Edwin Valero)

Diego Corrales
Vernon Forrest
Arturo Gatti

 

Forrest by a long shot for me. He was my least favourite fighter of the 3, but he was by far and away the best person of any of them. Not that any of them deserved death, they didn't .... but I feel a lot more good could have been acheived in the world if Forrest had survived.

 

corrales

 

Gatti hit me the hardest at the time.

 

as far as from a boxing perspective obviously valero was the most saddening

 

Salvador Sanchez.

 

:bears:

 

Even dead, Gatti could still punch like hell.

 

EXACTLY

 

he died 15 years before you were born

 

TLC slithered out on his momma's filth, sat up, looked around, and said..."where Sal at":Wah:?:atu:

 

double agreed

 

Arguello died neither of old-age or boxing related injuries. Once again, Sly's half-ass lists strike again.

Andy Gannigan being kicked into a coma a year ago or so was pretty shocking. If he dies he is going on the list. What's really shocking is that he outlived Arguello. If you were around on May 22nd 1982, you never would have thought that was going to happen.

 

TLC is giving you one of these......

 

Lol. That is TLCs official picture.

 

For sure

 

For REED it was Chico's....



REEDray:

 

Paul Williams

 

Corrales easily. I had just gotten to watch him train for a week or so since my buddy was a sparring partner. He was a cool guy.

I distinctly remember him saying that he got a motorcycle. His trainer then said that he'd better wear a helmet. Diego responded by saying "I know how to fall".

I went to his viewing, but not the funeral. I was in disbelief. Still am.

 

the viewing was catered where as the funeral wasnt?

 

:giggle:

 

:laughing:

 

TLC should give himself one of these:

 

Gatti, even though he lived a lot longer than expected.
