Benny Paret by Emile Griffith, Jimmy Doyle by Ray Robinson. There are more if I find any I'll add......Do a yahoo search under Manuel Velasquez Boxing Fatality Collection......startling information listed here. Thanks for the question I didn't realize there were so many deaths due to boxing..

When Leavander Johnson defended his title against Jesus Chavez of Mexico.I remember watching that fight and just by looking at Johnson you could feel the pain he's experiencing.His eyes were swollen and almost close, his face was so red and he took so many punishment from Chavez. The referee called it a night in the 11th round and reports said that Johnson collapsed in his dressing room and was rushed to the hospital.Unfortunately, 5 days after that fight he was pronounced dead.He died of subdural hematoma(bleeding and swelling of the brain).

Boom Boom Mancini killed Duk Koo Kim in the ring about 20 years ago. I can't recall any more but I am sure there are.
