RIP Frankie Randall

[surv2syn]

Didnt see a thread on this but RIP to a Tennessee legend and unbeknownst to many, a mentor of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Frankie "The Surgeon" Randall

First man to officially defeat Julio Caesar Chavez and I felt they cheated Frankie in the rematch.

R.I.P.

Frankie Randall, Three-Time Champion Who Handed Chavez First Loss, Dies at 59

I can almost bet that Floyd will pay for his funeral. Floyd paid for Hernandez funeral and has been very supported of Diego Corrales wife. Things that dont get enough mention. Randall was a guy he was very close to. He lived with Randall at the time where Randall was star and had money.

[patscorpio]

yes, he did fight too long but thats not why he was fukked up health wise. with the drug problems he had, its actually surprising he lived as long as he did.

Floyd has one of the most interesting stories in boxing. There will definitely be a movie about him one day. I dont think people realize how interesting his life story is. From his father going to prison and him being raised by his grandmother, to being managed and living with Don Hale, to living with Frankie Randall and being groomed by Roger and Jeff to become a world champion until his dad returned. In totality, his story is just as interesting as Tyson, he just wasnt as polarizing.

Floyd has promoted himself to be a villain but he really isnt. He actually saw how self-destructive Randall was and he never went down that path. He learned not only from Randall's highs but from his lows.

this one was an ever bigger disgrace smh

this one was an ever bigger disgrace smh

Randall's style was too unorthodox for JCC. I couldnt stand JCC, especially after the Sweet Pea robbery. When Randall beat his ass I loved every minute of it. Me and my brother (RIP) watch the rematch and was like look at these cheating ass mfs.

Randall wouldve been better if not for hard drugs and alcohol.

 

[The axe murderer]

He won twice vs chavez imo. R.I.P
