    I believe both were murdered, though I'm more confident in that opinion for Gatti

    I do think that Arturo Gatti and Sonny Liston were indeed murdered, based on the facts leading to both of their demise.

    Pretty damn obvious in Gatti's case. If she is indeed guilty I hope his wife or whoever was responsible gets found out and beaten to death in prison.

    Liston my gut tells me yes and im about 90% certain but you can never be 100% certain about anything regarding Sonny Liston other than that he was an African American heavyweight boxing champion. He's like the jack the ripper of sports. The debate will never end.

    Liston was almost certainly murdered by organized crime.

    Gatti? I dunno. Might have been murdered, but also suicide is believable.

    Nah, not me son. Nothing pisses me off nowadays more than when you are talking to someone and you ask a question and you are told to google this and that and find out for yourself. Just kills the point of having conversations and talking with other people. Used to be able to learn by talking to other people who were happy to share their knowledge.
