Alcoholic Boxers?

Sinan Samil Sam died at the age of 41 of liver failure due to excessive alcohol consumption.

 

Ruben Olivares had a drinking problem for awhile.

 

Hatton had problems with food, drink and drugs.
I hope he's kicked at least one of the problems into touch

 

So, a Kovalev thread.

 

Rubin Carter was a nasty tempered Alcoholic

 

Jeff Harding was a chronic alcoholic for a long time. Banned from half the pubs in Sydney and got himself into countless pub brawls and trouble. Last I read he’d turned it around but I’m not sure how he is now.

 

Eddie Machen suffered from Depression which plagues millions around the world, it cannot be cured but it can be treated with proper medication.

 

Hector Camacho had drug problems and also alcohol issues. I think Edwin Rosario also had problems with the bottle in addition to drugs.

 

Rich you heard the story of the revolver in his lap when a patrol car stopped to check on a suspicious vehicle parked?

 

Errol Spence likes a drink as well doesn’t he?

 

I’m pretty sure he stopped after the car accident.

 

No I did not, tell me. I remember reading about when Machen fought Floyd Patterson on July 5 1964, from a newspaper column, Floyd said he had Eddie in serious trouble nut backed off because Machen had spent time in a Mental Health Institution. Floyd went on to win by 12 round unanimous decision.

 

Jose Mantequilla Napoles was a heavy drinker.

 

Mike Tyson battles throughout life to the present day are well documented.

 

Julio Sr was partying particularly hard post-Taylor and through his King years. And booze wasn't the only thing going on.
