Saddest death of a fighter you were alive during?

Marvin Hagler, I felt horrible for days. I had a Hagler pic as my avatar after that, and I vowed that I wouldn't change it before I've stopped choking up at the simple thought of him being dead. Had it for about a year.

Everybody talked about Ali’s passing when I was a kid non boxing fans and teachers to, teachers taught us a little bit about him shortly afterwards.
I can’t tell you I was sad I didn’t even know he was alive but it was the most impactful.

 

Doo Koo Kim because it was the first time I watched a fighter die in the ring. I was very young at the time but I remember it like it was yesterday.

 

Diego Corrales was a shocker.

 

Arturo Gatti was very sad the way he went out. Even as washed up he still wanted to be a world champion of boxing. He was framed and/or unfortunately was boozing, fighting spouse, fighting depression...

 

Got to be Hagler for me. That hit close to home.

 

I actually met him less than 9 months before his death. He looked as healthy as a horse and was in great spirits. It is impossible to believe that someone in such good health could die of "natural causes" so shortly after our meeting. I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but, I genuinely believe there may be some truth to the rumors of him dying as a result of a reaction to the vaccine. The overwhelming media hush about it was definitely suspicious.

 

Not dead but speaking of Frank Bruno, he was quite the physical specimen, I've seen footage of him in recent years, and he looks like he lost a lot of weight. Even his head and neck look small, I hope it's nothing serious.

 

lavander johnson.

 

still unsure about that one, a lot of people are, has there ever been any follow up to that little snipe?

 

Every time one of the 70 s Heavyweight s passed I always felt like I was losing a part of my childhood.

 

An interview I saw a few months ago with him, he's doing OK, well as ok as he can be.
He suffers bipolar, says he's just happy to be alive twenty years after first getting sectioned.
He as lost weight at the looks of it and it's jarring when you remember how big he was.
