    Matty you must understand all of this behavior was non existent prior to his motorcycle accident which he fractured his skull and had surgery to remove a blood clot, prior to this accident there were no issues whatsoever with regards to domestic violence.
    AND THAT IS A FACT
    ps I rooted a sheila that rooted Wilt

    I think his fondness for "ICE" was a Big contributor also along with his accident, Ice can fire up even the most Placid Person.!!!!

    What's also a fact is that he became a heavy drug user and a straight up alcoholic. I know that he had a rough upbringing and all the rest of it... doesn't excuse what he did in my eyes.

    He was locked up plenty of times as a juvenile for stealing, assaults and robbing motorcycles. The man was hardly a Saint prior to his crash.

    Boxing is full of it.
    I go through my record now on Boxrec and sadly I see over half the blokes I have fought are dead.
    But life goes on

    If you mean hit as in the way you hit Wilt's ex... then yeah. :D Otherwise, no. Are there situations in life that sometimes warrant it? Yeah, there are. But they're few and far between.
