    We all have ups and downs in life, why should HW boxers (or any celebrity) be immune from normal life concerns ?

    It's just media sensationalisation. Someone famous has marital, medical or financial troubles and we talk about "sad endings" and "bad endings". This **** happens to people all the time. Good times, bad times. Ups and downs.

    Yeah, I guess it's a coincidence that he avoids fighting in any state with a real commission, that would require a real blood test.

    Trevor Berbick ended up being shot in the head by Jamaican drug dealers.
    Nice!

    Berbick wasn't shot. He was beaten to death by two men, with metal pipe and crowbar being the murder weapons. One of the men was his 20 year-old nephew and the motive was a land dispute. I have no idea whether anyone involved was a drug dealer. They were all Jamaicans.

    He would have been champ for several more years too if he hadn't been robbed by the worst group of judges to ever step foot on the earth.:bart
