Former Boxing Champ Homeless In Camden, NJ
Back in the day, Rocky Lockridge was a bad, bad man. At one point, he was 33-3 and holding the junior lightweight title after knocking out Roger Mayweather (Floyd Jr.’s uncle, if you were curious; video of that knockout is below). Things, however, went south in a hurry.
(Once on top of the world, now… this.)
Lockridge has been found on the streets of Camden, New Jersey; he’s now 50 and homeless. In the least surprising detail in history, he’s abusing alcohol and drugs on a daily basis, something probably closely related to the fact that he’s also estranged from his wife and family. Not all hope is lost, however.
