Ugh, I remember that.

Robert Quiroga- First world champ (in reality, strap holder) from San Antonio at 115, killed by a member of the Bandidos over a silly argument about some old incident involving a Scarface poster.
Billy Collins- Went from being a top prospect to dead less than a year after his fight with Resto. Was a suicide.

Jeebuz H. Christmas. That was even dumber and more senseless than I thought. Thanks.
Quiroga was one hell of a fighter.

great post, never knew Turpin killed himself
Battling Siki - murdered by a policeman more than likely. Shot in the back twice

Strangely Siki most reminds me of an old west gunfighter more than anything else. Not many of those guys lasted very long once they had a rep.

Yup, not bad for 175. Like I've said before people tend to forget boxing had a 300 year head start on most other sports figuring out the fitness thing.
And it's not like a human being can box for 20 rounds, even at a measured pace, without being insanely fit.

completely agree
its a complete miracle that Johnny Taias name isnt on this list, even though technically he did die he just came back to life

He may be one guy I hope fights til he dies. It may keep him alive longer.
