Marsh is doing alright. I’ve seen him since. I think he was blackballed in boxing for a time over the epilepsy thing.. but he moved on. He was acquitted. I think it’s like a Frank says. It’s not who he first thought it was. It’s somebody he knew, who he since worked out who it was.
The question should really be “who ordered Frank Warren shot” not “who shot Frank Warren”. it’s hardly ever the man who ordered the hit who pulls the trigger. The best candidate would be an associate of someone with a real gripe at that time. Again, in boxing, that won’t narrow it down..
Boxing at the highest levels in the amateur and pro ranks is a really small world. Everyone has overlapped with everyone else at some point. If rumors circuluate inside the sport, there's usually some kernel of truth in there. Fighters have pulled guns on promoters and trainers and managers, trainers have pulled guns on fighters. Tim 'Doc' Anderson shot and killed Rick Parker, who promoted many of Bert Cooper fights and co-promoted parts of George Foreman's comeback. Bruce Curry shot at and missed his trainer Jesse Reid. Teddy Atlas took a gun and went to his former fighter Donnie Lalonde's house to murder him before the Leonard fight, but Lalonde had moved. James Toney took a gun and went to go kill his manager Jackie Kallen, and Toney's mom called her to warn he was on his way, but he got talked off the ledge. There is a very small pool of people who it could be. They didn't have enough evidence to convict Marsh, but the only person ever prosecuted was Marsh - because everyone knew it was him, they just couldn't prove it. And that's why they didn't prosecute anyone else. Because they had the right guy the first time. Just couldn't prove it. It was Marsh.
At the time they were big big news, Mendy and to a lesser extent Maloney (soon to be a bigger extent when wearing a Union Jack suit).
