    Ouch. I'd read he was in a bad way, and this certainly confirms it. Hard to connect the dots from the wunderkind we remember to this.

    If Wilfred had concentrated full-time on training, he might have not lost the SRL fight.

    Hearns was just too big.

    Boxing maims and wrecks its participants. There's no way of sugarcoating.

    I'm glad Wilfred has family to love and care for him. His predicament is sad in all senses.

    Its crazy to think that the 17 year old marvel is now in this way makes you wonder which boxers who seem to have a bright future now could end up like this.

    My grandmother had dementia and it was sad, but she was close to 80. This is truly painful to read.

    I feel like making a donation to Benitez and other retired boxers in trouble, anyone know a good fund?
