I misinterpreted the thread title. Was thinking it was about losing runs in the ring. But the OP obviously has something else in mind.
Terry Mcgovern developed a serious dark streak after the loss of two of his young daughters, which coincided with his shocking and embarrassing loss to Young Corbett. Terrible Terry menaced his neighborhood with an empty shot gun, nearly beat his own brother to death, and and
Charles Kid McCoy. Everybody knows about his shenanigans during his career. He was married 10 times, alcoholic, murdered one his wives, and committed suicide.
I don't think he was as bad as people make him out to be, life dealt him **** hand after **** hand and he was always at the whim of more cunning and ruthless people who were able to exploit him. Deep down I think he had a good heart which is why the only people he ever felt truly comfortable around were children because they didn't hurt him like everyone else did.
