Some question i am bit interested

Post by Cent0089 »

As a boxing fan, there are few things that interest me about boxers outside of boxing:
- What happened to Golovkins two brothers killed in army ?
- What was the felony Hopkins went to prison for?
- Is Gervonta Davis mentaly retarded?
- How is Erik Skoglund doing now, speaking of injuries after Smith fight?
- is there any top fighters in last decade who was fixing fights? (i mean intentionaly lost)
- is there some notable boxers who were killed outside of ring last decade ?
- which boxers are most politicaly active besides Manny Pacquiao?
- which notable boxers have full time job?
- is there some boxer who is deaf or speechless ?

Maybe more silly questions from other user here on boxrec? :D :box: :box: :box:

Very interesting questions, really. Unfortunately, I have not any answers (except V. Klitschko as a politician).
BTW, are you kidding about Davis ?

Davis is a weird one. I wonder if he puts on an act. Some people who are really smart play dumb when they come from poor backgrounds so they don't get bullied or stand out.
I honestly don't know with him.
I just can't equate sharp ring skills with a dull mind.
I'd be interested in other's thoughts about him :maybe:

Regarding the first question, the Soviet Army was concealing reasons of death of their soldiers, so nobody knows how Golovkin's brothers died.

He's from one of the worst neighborhoods in the country and he's uncomfortable speaking publicly.

Jameel McCline was running for something in Florida. I was visiting when I saw promotional stuff.

I think you want to use your words a little carefully, and not to confuse mental health issues and low intelligence.

Tank Davis is a product of his environment and it’s gonna take time to polish him up for the WHITE acceptance like the rest of the great boxers that came up through tough childhoods and low income housing. But I hope that he says screw that and doesn’t change for anyone’s idea of intelligence.

To be where he is from where he began, it’s a miraculous story that none of you punks could have withstood I’m sure. The kid worked his ass off to be a very special fighter so that really should be all that he’s judged upon. To become anything from those beginnings is amazing enough.

As I read, Ali had pretended to be a stupid, from time to time. This had been some kind of his game. Davis might be to play the same game ?

I have wondered if Ali flunked his army IQ test on purpose.

Yes, definitely.
Some people are lousy test takers, and Ali, like me, seems a bit ADHD. Takes one to know one. :)

But yes, he likely did take "a dive" on the test.

I had read the several different sources who claimed the same - Ali intentionally had taken "a dive".

I can only answer 2:

- which boxers are most politicaly active besides Manny Pacquiao? - Vitali Klitschko
- which notable boxers have full time job? - manny pacquiao (an actor, senator, singer, professional basketball player, preacher, tv host), Anthony Joshua though not full time was an endorser. I also heard Mauricio Herrera use to work in a construction site. And Joe Smith Jr. also use to work in a construction site and fights in bars.

Although i'm not sure, my dad and grandpa always tell me stories that Ali do fix fight to get more money in the rematch. He didn't do it with Foreman though since he's not sure if he can beat Foreman.

Not in the last decade but Vernon Forrest was killed in a robbery incident. RIP Viper
