Which boxer do you feel most sorry for?

Its amazing how people can start arguing over nothing.

I clicked Jones without looking properly (I am tired). I do in a way feel bad for Tyson, after watching that documentary-film about him. I unfortunately don't know about this Joe Louis story but I should obviously check that out.

 

Joe Louis.

Joint Greatest HW that ever lived and the man greeted people at Caeser's Palace.:-(

 

I think he was trying to include different reasons to feel sorry for a fighter...

 

come on apologise i simply stated who i thought shouldnt on the list you then went all bitchy ad stated to insult me . i then ask three simple questions and you dont even answer them, you put up a pretty poor poll and if im not aloowed to metion its faults the im sorry

 

did you try to point to my age as a flaw earlier , you then proceed to act like a little bitchy girl

 

Lol. Down I go. My apologizes.

 

Didn't he also have to turn to pro wrestling??? I think his name was the "Brown Bomber" and later died penniless. Certainly a sad story, for a true great of the sport.

 

again not realy answering my question , just trying to avoid it

 

Guys,

Storm - in - a - teacup.

Now keep the noise down, I'm reading other threads.

 

its ok fell im finished with this idiot anyway

 

Joe Louis's story is sad as hell. Lots of fighters spend too much money and he was no exception, but it wasn't merely his spending habits that made him go broke. After doing a lot for the war effort the government decided to thank him but saying he deliberately tried to deceive them by withholding money, or something like that.

Read about guys like Sam Langford or Jimmy Bivins. Those are some ****ed up stories about what they went through.

Bivins is one of the living (I think he's still alive) fighters that I have the most sympathy for.
