5-15 record in boxing?
He was not much of a boxer, more of a punching bag.
Was not much better as a gangster either, it would seem.

I’m kinda wondering why the 23 yr old was gunned down.

they used to this all the time in late 19th/early 20th century. google carte de visite sometime. quite interesting practice in an era of little transportation, whiz-bang photography and long distances between family and friends.

With a 5-15 record the more proper way to “memorialize” his career would have been to leave him in a lying state on the mat.

To: Libloather
I suppose they had no pictures of him actually fighting to use to memorialize his career? And with a 5 and 15 record, no wonder he wanted a made-up exit. The writer then goes to describe him being in a hoodie, oblivious to the fact that it is a part of a boxing robe and not just a hoodie.
He lived in the projects so one naturally goes to the question of what was he doing when he was shot? At no place in the article does it mention this or even hint at it.
What a bunch of self absorbed fools, but worse was why in the world would someone want to make it their dying wish to subject his family with this? If his “career” was their only way out of the projects it goes far more as an indictment on their acceptance of their way of life.

Its not sick. Dead relatives in one last family photo were quite common a century ago right here in the USA.

Great idea...I’m thinking either a Heisman pose or a Starwars theme for mine. Time to go change my Will.

“This ain't your night”! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit.
You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley.
