    You know the thing with boxers is that 99% come from poor backgrounds which usually means they live in shi tholes....areas where murder rates are high etc....so looking at that list it doesnt surprise me that a lot of boxers have been murdered....you dont really see boxers comming from rich backgrounds do you?

    Tyrone Everett's is certainly one of the weirdest of the cases. He got killed by his wife because she caught him ****ing a tranny (no word if it was pre-op or post-op). Then supposedly the tranny helped the wife escape.

    Oscar Bonavena was banging the wife of the guy who owned a brothel in Nevada and bragging about how he was going to take over the brothel. The owner sent orders to his people to shoot Oscar on sight if he came back to the brothel.

    They are still not sure about whether the whole case of Jesse James Hughes. One story is that he was killed because he kept robbing drug dealers.

    http://www.doghouseboxing.com/Newman/NewmanHUGHES.htm

    Robert Quiroga was murdered by a member of a motorcycle gang in a dispute over a Scarface poster.

    Agapito Sanchez got murdered in an argument because he wouldn't let some POS dance with his girlfriend.

    yeah, those were no doubt some ****ed up ones....

    the owner of that brothel apparently is the guy that still owns it and they had a long running series on showtime about that place...called the mustang ranch....or something like that

    Valero wasn't murdered, he commited suicide. Gatti on the other hand was probably murder.

    wow, what a list... and they call a lot of today's fighters "shot". Tell that to Vernon for example.
