Many likebale or talented fighters get cut off in their prime and lead to many what ifs. Boxing is a cruel sport and many times you see terrible things happen. Ibeabuchi-Jail Morrisson-Aids Mesi-Brain Injury Reid-Retina Any others come to mind
Sergei Artamiev - permanetly injured, head injury Sergei Kobozov - CW who beat John Ruiz (his first loss) in 95 i think when John was 14-0. Was murdered by Russian thieves from Little Odessa. He was "missing" for 3 years before they found out what happened.
mcclellan, fight should have been stopped in the first and then he was headed to a showdown with roy jones jr whom he already beat in the amateurs and IMO whould have again.
I was thinking about that earlier actually. It's not like the Benn fight alone caused it. Most likely he already had an injury. Even if he hadn't fought Benn it would have just been somone else and 1 or 2 or 3 fights later the same **** would have happened. I would have loved to see him fight Jones too though btw.
I was going to make the same point. Theres a a great deal of evidence to suggest that the damage was, at least partially, done prior to the Benn fight and McClellan was an accident waiting to happen.
