Birth year issues? edit
There are some sources that indicate he was 25 years old, other sources indicate he was born in 1979. Which is the correct one? Or could this be a different Benjamin Flores? Though there doesn't seem any disambiguation should it be the case. --JForget 00:39, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Different guy. Guy who died was a super bantamweight, this fighter is cruiserweight —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.36.56 (talk) 02:15, 6 May 2009 (UTC) his amateur boxing title is in the MMA section... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.98.204.251 (talk) 18:20, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
He's not dead idiots! edit
This isn't the same Flores. In fact they're about a dozen weight classes apart. So stupid... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.89.8.205 (talk) 04:10, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
This is the Flores who died: http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=225087&cat=boxer --Matt1978 BJ Flores the Cruiserweight did not die.(talk) 04:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
- For anyone who's still not sure, the guy who sadly died is here. It would be good if people stopped editing in the wrong info. Bretonbanquet (talk) 09:10, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
