Strange deaths....Fighters who died while active

Bummy Davis was in his bar that he had recently just sold drinking with his buddies when robbers came in. He charged them, took one of them out, got shot 3 times, and went chasing after the other 3, got shot again and died....

 

Dujuan Johnson, who knocked down but ended up losing to Aaron Pryor, was shot over owing someone money. Supposedly only $600 and possibly drug related.

Wow...what a resume. Thanks for info.

 

Wow. What a way to go.

 

One of the saddest was Billy Collins jr. After the Panama Lewis and Luis Resto fight. He had his career completely ruined by those two idiots .Died in an auto accident. Both Lewis and Resto should be coming out of prison just about now, for what they did to Collins

 

Rest in Peace to him, but Forrest was stupid. It's a little misleading, because he wasn't actually killed AT the gas station. He was killed at a nearby apartment complex cause he took off and chased AFTER the guy who robbed him, firing his own gun at him. He lost the guy in an apartment complex, then one of the robber's accomplices came up and shot Forrest in the back multiple times.

Considering he had his 11-year-old Godson with him, Forrest should have avoided playing cowboy, and just let the guy rob him. He would still be alive today. All the material stuff that was taken could have been replaced, but instead he lost something that can't be replaced, his life.

Because he died being a hot head, I see it as a less of tragedy than if the robbers had just come up and killed him, unprovoked. But that wasn't the case. They just wanted Forrest's jewelry and money. Vernon escalated it and got himself killed.

Fortunately, Forrest's Godson was unharmed.

 

Billy started drinking really heavily after he lost sight (or most of it, enough to never be able to fight again) in one eye. His father — I knew him pretty well when I lived in Nashville in the mid- to late-1980s, would go sit on the porch and talk boxing with him — believed the car crash was a suicide.

 

Tyrone Everett comes to mind.

 

Wow! Didn't know all those details. A guy like that isn't going to be punked and not go down without a fight. Sorry, it was just not in his DNA. I really miss seeing him fight even tho he was at the end of his line as a boxer. Seemed like a genuine guy. Would have loved to see him coach. RIP.

 

Did great work with developmentally disadvantaged children and young adults too. A real class act and gone way too soon.

 

A tragedy and a cautionary tale.

 

Thank you very much everyone, very good contributions, nobody knows what happened to ekassi?

 

Edwin valerio one of the most tragic.
And also with all the conspiracy theories.
