Boxers we lost too soon or very young (RIP)

Can you imagine losing so many friends, some close in one incident like that ?

 

Rudell Stitch
Rip Randall
Holly Mims
Alejandro Lavorante
Eddie Sanders

 

I know, it's a tragedy and must really hit you hard. Can't imagine it, Flash tbh.

Johnny Owen. Rest in peace Welsh warrior!

 

LYNCH
CERDAN

though both had done their jobs exceedingly well and got their chances, they both had more in them.
Cerdan rematch with Jake and probably another 1 or 2 defences in him. Benny was at the end but he might have fought a few more fights if not for boozing it up and the sad outcome. Anyway both great losses.

Are we talking1920 jack Dempsey? He made it to his 80 s...

 

Ok it's a middleweight from the 1800..

 

He's referring to the great middleweight "Nonpareil" Jack Dempsey, who came before.

 

I couldn't find any info. My guess would be his wife's family took care of them.

St. Louis southpaw 139-pounder Lemuel Steeples may have been the brightest of that ill-fated bunch. Tons of international competition, beat Milton McCrory several times (lost to Don Curry in a national final I think). Would have likely been a welter in the pro ranks.
