    It's a good thing you think that way. I had the same reaction even though I hate the dude. I think at the end of the day, what he's done doesn't affect us on a personal level, and holding a grude to the point of wishing said person harm based on what he's done to people you never knew, very long time ago is just too toxic of a mentality to have.

    CAESAR
    I could be well moved, if I were as you:
    If I could pray to move, prayers would move me:
    But I am constant as the northern star,
    Of whose true-fix'd and resting quality
    There is no fellow in the firmament.
    The skies are painted with unnumber'd sparks,
    They are all fire and every one doth shine,
    But there's but one in all doth hold his place:
    So in the world; 'tis furnish'd well with men,
    And men are flesh and blood, and apprehensive;
    Yet in the number I do know but one
    That unassailable holds on his rank,
    Unshaked of motion: and that I am he,
    Let me a little show it, even in this;
    That I was constant Cimber should be banish'd,
    And constant do remain to keep him so.

    People should stop pretending they care about someone who would bash them in a bar for looking the wrong way, then kidnap their sister for brothel duty ... and just enjoy this beautiful event. Over the years the boxing gods have ruined some decent people like NIck Blackwell. Finally a certified piece of garbage is ruined. Universe is a cold, dark place, enjoy these fleeting rays of sunshine, these occasions when the Universe gets it right.

    How long was the boxer Nick Blackwell in a coma after the Eubank Jr fight?

    do Stephensons young children use this forum? this is a public forum, right?

    do you wish harshness on innocents?
    get a grip, you arent like this in normal life face2face, dont let the internet debase you.

    not saying you arent wrong or right nor condoning bad behaviour, including mine and yours. But there is a time and place to say things!

    Mauricio Sulaiman (auto-translated):
    Not a word about Stevenson's condition and the "no one is to blame" aspect is emphasized... That means the situation is quite bad, I think... :dunno

    Don't look like it if they've tried to wake him and he's not coming round..If he survives I would say he'll be bad, really bad !

    Reading between the lines somewhat, it sounds like they've tried reviving him from this induced coma safely several times and it hasn't been successful. My guess is that every time they try they either do more damage or make it less likely he will gain consciousnesses.

    McClellen had been champion for 2 years when Benn put him in hospital.

    Benny Paret had been trading world titles back and forth for a two year period and went into the third Griffiths fight reigning champion. He'd lost it to Griffiths and won it back before this fight though he did jump up to middleweight and took a beating trying to win the middleweight title of Gene Fulmer in between the last two Griffiths fights and that possibly helped aid the tragedy.

    Davey Moore was a four year reigning champion when he lost his life in the bout with Sugar Ramos.

    Can't think of any other defending champions who were badly hurt (as in with life changing consequences from a bad injury from one particular fight).
