In fact a few years back he singlehandedly fought off a gang who were attacking someone. The main person Johnny has hurt has been himself and anyone who knows his background would need a heart of stone imo not to understand the demons that persue him... he's seen things and experienced things that noone should have to endure....
He messed up his wife prettty badly with his lifestyle according to his book.
True, but she always knew what she was getting into. What I'm saying is that he doesnt go round starting fights with people and things like that... from what I've heard he's actually one of the sweetest guys you could meet....
His addiction started after they started dating, but before he married her, so I see your point. He seems a really nice guy, just associated himself with the wrong crowd.

I haven't known a boxer to have a weirder life.

all fair points. But its not all about hurting or not hurting people physically. The mental damage that Johnny has caused people is huge. And don't forget 2 people died in a car crash when going to the hospital to visit Johnny after his last overdose. Of course the crash wasn't his fault, but its the sliding door effect that drugs have. It causes huge ripples . Also i've heard every excuse going when it comes to drug use. Johnny may be a nice guy , but when his money runs out, then it will be no more mr nice guy. He'll get the money anyhow.
