The fans who defend champions in their prime facing terrible competition/ducking/avoiding unification bouts are the worst people in boxing history.
King obviously but also scum like Luis Resto, Panama Lewis, Rick 'Elvis' Parker., Gerald McClellan. Probably a massive list
Jack Solomons and his cohorts and their stranglehold over British Boxing WAS Criminal... Duff too was a gangster.
Carl King! Tony Ayala Jr "On January 1, 1983, Ayala burglarized the home of his neighbor, a young schoolteacher, and brutally sexually assaulted her. Although he was only 19 years old, Ayala had already been convicted twice of assaults against women. One of these attacks took place in the restroom of a drive-in theatre and left the victim with a broken back. He had been given probation for these offenses. Under a repeat offender's law, he was sentenced to 35 years in prison. The prosecutor at trial argued the young boxer should serve the full term because he was a danger to the community." Rolando Navarrete "He spent three years in a United States prison for ****. Navarrete was also recently involved in various police complaints for wife battery and drugs." Ike Ibeabuchi In July 1999, Ibeabuchi was staying at The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas when he phoned a local escort service and had a woman sent to his room. The 21-year-old woman said later she was there to strip and nothing else. She claimed Ibeabuchi attacked her in the walk-in closet after she demanded to be paid up front. Ibeabuchi barricaded himself in the bathroom and police discharged pepper spray under the door until he surrendered. Ibeabuchi's legal defense faced the further difficulty of the Clark County DA's reopening of a similar sexual assault allegation against him from eight months earlier which took place at Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. Ibeabuchi was released on bail and placed under house arrest, able to train and fight again until his trial. He was remanded after two more similar allegations surfaced from Arizona.
And to think that when I wrote him for an autograph, dude was pretty decent to me. even sent me an Argentine mini-flag and all. What he did later...ewwwww
Bob Arum is every bit the conniving scumbag that Dan King was. At least King used to give us incredible undercards for the big fights. Undercards on Bob Arum events are almost always total garbage.
Steve Hearon killed three people, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Hearon Of course Mobutu, Congolese dictator, is the worst overall if we're counting people with any connection to boxing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobutu_Sese_Seko
