    Fought in the late 60s and 70s did fight Roberto Duran at His best and lost to Duran....but Duran said he was the hardest puncher he had ever fought...After his first victim he never really recovered...then after another death in the ring He was just never the same.....Great tragedy Really.!!!

    To kill is not the objective of any fighter, but simply a sad coscituence. To win is the ideal, of any fighter, but as in any sport there are casualties. Often the loss of a life comes down to draining weight, not the punishment metered out.

    Yes draining weight can deplete the water surrounding the brain offering less protection from the blows received during the bout

    Spot on, if you can imagine your brain as a soft spongy part of ur self that involves reasoning thinking....then try to to understand that liquid plays a part of protecting itself as far as absorbing impact then you may understand the confusion when it doesn't,chicken legs, disorientation, and thus the brain gets tumbled around, without the the absorbency that would normally protect its self.

    Correct in the vast majority of cases. But there have been many examples over the years where fighters were seeking a lot more than just the win as their ideal outcome.

    Now ur talking bout the intention to kill, the intention is not valid, just to talk it up, I kinda come from where I was as a fighter, there where no ill intentiontions, but I got the job done.

    I didn't mention the word kill because its not what I was implying.

    But there have been numerous examples over the years where fighters were far more intent on doing damage to their opponents than winning the fight.

    How long have you been following boxing?

    Boxing history is littered with examples of fights where the money and the win were secondary to the grudge and the urge to do damage.

    Emile Griffith was not too concerned about the money.

    This Cuban amateur called Pedro Cardenas tried to kill two men in the ring during one fight. Both of them were referees. lol

    This is one of the craziest fights you'll see. Very entertaining scrap too.

    Two fighters died as a result of injuries inflicted by former featherweight champion, Sugar Ramos.
