    That's more unfortunate, and foolish on Holyfield's part.

    I consider tragedies to be fights likes Collins-Resto, Quiroga-Anifowoshe, Mancini-Kim, etc....Ring deaths or cases where guys are handicapped afterwards. Or cases like Jimmy Wilde or Randy Turpin when there careers are done.

    I never knew this , if its true then im sorry this man got what he deserves. I have a pitbull and its 5 years old, friendliesy dog you would ever meet, im from Liverpool, pits r illegal here, and a pitbull killd a young giirl here a bit ago, the police were taking pits off people left right and centre for a while, and i had to keep mine indoors for a bit. All cos some bad arsehole trained his dog to be a killa because of sum bullsht fashion trend that happens with pitbulls.

    L**** i said, if your post is true then he was a bastad

    yeah but cmon man, id rather someon torture an animal rather than be paralyzed his whole life. an animal aint no human. now if he tortued humans I would agree with you , but like i said, you are getting riled up over nothing. ****, look how many people in the ghetto or 3rd world countries have dog fights, or **** fights, or other **** with animals. Basically what you are saying is that if you had a chance to bring back all those animals or have gman stay paralyzed - you would leave gman paralyzed. thats ****ed up dude. humans> animals, we eat them for christs sake. Not saying torturing animals is cool though, far from it.

    Ike Ibeabuchi.

    G-Man did some terrible things, but of the things we know of, fighters such as Tony Ayala, Jake LaMotta, Jo-El Scott, James Scott, James Butler, etc....are more deserving of such as terrible fate than G-Man.

    Yeah but 'living by the sword, dying by the sword' would imply that he got paralyzed in doing some criminal ****. in other words, that saying would make sense if gman was robbing someone at gunpoint and got shot by the person getting robbed leaving the gman paralyzed. just nitpicking thats all i get your point though. The fact remains is that we dont know if gman did some criminal **** back in his day besides torturing animals, its all kind of speculation.

    Ernie Schaaf dying in the ring after suffering a TKO in the 15th round against Primo Carnera. Many people felt that Schaaf had suffered prior damage in his previous fight against Max Baer

    Frankie Campbell dying a day after his fight with Max Baer.

    Kim Deuk Koo collapsing after suffering a TKO loss to Ray Mancini and dying 4 days later in a Las Vegas hospital. Koo's mother and the referee of the fight, Richard Green, would commit suicide.

    "Kid" Akeem Anifowoshe collapsing after his legendary fight with Robort Quiroga. Anifowoshe died three years after that fight. His death is widely believe to have been as a reult of the blood clot that formed in his brain during his fight with Quiroga. Ten years after Anifowoshe's death, Quiroga was stabbed to death by a member of a motorcycle gang.

    Cleveland Denny dying sixteen days after his fight with Gaetan Hart.

    Gerald McClellan suffering massive brain damage in his fight against Nigel Benn. He is blind, can barely speak, can barely hear, and has trouble walking and being on his own for any extended period of time.

    Greg Page collapsing into a coma and coming out of it with the entire left side of his body paralyzed as a result of his fight with Dale Crowe. He suffered numerous complications because of this, and the complications eventually were responsible for his death recently.

    Walter Croot dying at the hands of undefeated paperweight champion Jimmy Barry, after a Croot supporter yelled the following at Croot "Come on Walter Lad! The bloomin' American can't win unless he knocks you dead!" Barry proceeded to knock Croot down with a vicious right. As Croot fell to the canvas, hie hit his head so hard he cracked open his skull. Croot died later that night.

    Charles "Kid" McCoy killing a woman he was living with, then later taking his own life.
