    Scott,who has Lou Gehrig's disease has been given three plus months to live by his doctors. Scott is still working two jobs, as the Minnesota boxing commisioner and also an official in the county he lives in, though he is wheel chair bound now and is tiring more every day. Scott says he's still fighting, just as he did with Foreman, Norton, Spinks, Page, and Ali. I want to tell Scotty the East side gang is praying for him, let me know ok guys. Tim

    Sorry to hear that ,he was an honest fighter and allways gave his best.
    I liked his interviews too,when Butterbean said, " how come your nose is allover your face,and mine isnt" he said something like , " because I fought x amount of world champs and contenders ,and you fought tomato cans ".
    I remember when he kicked Howard Cosell's wig off in protest at being robbed against Johnny Boudreaux, in the Don King rigged US Championships, Cosell picked it up and put it on back to front:lol:

    Ledoux was a scrapper who honoured his calling, please give him the esteem of this forum .

    This is Coetzee but I remember Ledoux vs Norton...Scott dropped Norton 2 times in the last rd and came short of the KO but he got a draw with Ken in a good fight...He always gave his all and fought everyone

    Isnt that what Stephen Hawkins has? Hopefully he can beat the doctors diagnosis the same way Hawkins managed. You have to question if its a brain injury from boxing

    Are you a personal friend Timmers?

    Power, I wish I was a personal friend, I grew up in the Golden Gloves with Scott and knew him as an aquaintance in Minneapolis. He was a little older with a really tough apperance and that rough New York like accent, but was just a great guy. I couldn't tell you how many times I would see him helping out beginners or encouraging a fighter who had just lost. We all have allot of respect for Scott here in Minnesota.

    Scott Ladoux may the good lord give you all the strength sir! I recall Hercules Weaver in his prime trying to brawl with you for a couppla rounds and found the going a bit too tough, switched over to stick and move cause he had to, you made him quit!!

    God give you strength sir, you fans remember you very well!!
