Don't know him or follow boxing, but always a sad story to hear things like this. Hope it's not the case.

Damn. That sucks for him and for boxing fans. The fight with Canelo could have been a great one.

Sad to hear. Paul was a warrior. But it was better for him to go out like this than to suffer anymore brain damage that he would have suffered if he kept on fighting because Paul at this point of his career was a shell of himself. I just hope he recovers to walk again.

one would think that boxing would be enough exposure to serious injury but to add riding 2 wheeled vehicles on today's highways put him in a very high risk position. sorry for him. he probably is just proving Darwin right though.

One of the most feared fighters of the last 5-7 years when he was at welterweight. Terrible to hear.

Ok. I know I'm gonna be mad at myself for entertaining this comment but you're saying that every person who gets on a motorcycle deserves to be paralyzed?

Well considering you once wished death on my new born twins because I laughed at you for bragging about buying your wife a new KIA, this really doesn't come as a surprise.

I'm sure you are some 15 year old but this is an idiotic comment.
