The 47-year-old resurfaced at a sports benefit in NYC last month, looking like a knockout.
In 1983, South Korean boxer Duk Koo Kim suffered brain injuries after a 14-round fight with Mancini. Kim died five days later. In the months that followed, both Kim's mother and the referee of the fight committed suicide.
Today, Mancini owns a cigar company and two film production companies.
1. He looks great. What a heartbreaking story for the other boxer! So sad.

4. Seeexxy man. Sad story though. I guess when you put yourself into a boxing ring (or anywhere else you can get your ass kicked) you either win or lose, live or die.
Good to see Mancini didn't self destruct. He looks great.

10. This is addressed to comment # 9. You are a homophobic racist I am sure and probably racist with everyone else! You sound like someone with a 5th grade education level. All I did was pay him a compliment! I know he's straight you ass-wipe! Chances are if he got a look at your ugly face/body he'd probably never have sex with anyone ever again!

12. #12 Im more than happy to kiss....heh heh... but I was only paying a compliment nothing more. He shouldn't let his own level of uncomfortability with his sexuality/insecurities come out in such a racist manner...
