    Considering the battles that Chacon had with his demons as a youngster and how badly he struggled to conquer them only to wind up with dementia and broke, it makes the Chacon story so much worse.

    It is truly sad to see a warrior with Bobby's resume' end up like he is now.

    Danny "Little Red" Lopez
    Rubin Olivares X 2
    Rafeal "Bazooka" Limon x 3
    Alexis Arguello
    Cornelius Boza Edwards X 2
    Ray Mancinni

    In the big fights Bobby won some and lost some, but the fact remains that he was a 2 divison world titlist back when that meant a hell of a lot more than it does now, and today he picks up soda pop cans for spending money.

    I didn't like the way Riddick Bowes prime took a nosedive to the point of him letting his body and mind go to pieces.. the whole Golota fights thing, marines, kidnapping his wife and kids etc... it was sad after seeing that kid reach the heights after such a bad start in life.........
