    Camacho fight was in '92.

    What i meant to say is that his partying was getting wilder.

    He started drinking and doing coke alot more than previously.

    45 posts for his name to come up...


    Any 'world class' boxer who took the 'art' of drink to the extreme of taking his life, is better than a number 45 mention on this thread.

    "Rockabye" Ruben Olivares immediately comes to mind. John Conteh, too.

    Dempsey was a notorious party animal, thats what he was out doing while he was sitting on the heavyweight title for long periods of inactivity

    Like alot of people have said Lew Jenkins was the first to spring to mind, he pretty much ****ed up his career cos of the ****.

    Sullivan was another notorious one and one of the few who actually turned up to some fights drunk. To top it off he actually won. Like a boss.

    From the past? Maybe was Max Baer a drinker? I know he liked the ladies? Did he like the ale aswell? From more recent time Tyson and The Atomic Bull?
