    Sadly, I think it's the fall from grace that almost invariably "completes" a fighter's career. Anyone who's ever retired on top has left unanswered questions.

    Foreman is a good call. Left nothing in the tank. Virtually 2 careers in 1.

    Well yeah, but Foreman shut it down in his prime and came back a decade later as an old fat guy. A complete career should include a prime, no?

    Ali. Yeah it ended with some loses when he was shot, but what happened before was epic.
