Fighters who fell off the face of the earth

Oleydong Sithsamerchai

Very impressive #1 guy at strawweight. KO'd early by Ioka. Has fought about 15 times since, moving up 3 divisions immediately after the loss, but against absolutely no one with seemingly no intent to get back into the title picture.

 

Andre Dirrell

Luis Collazo

 

From what I gather, Shumenov is struggling to get a fight - he said that several negotiations have fell through but he's ready to fight.

I think he's looking at any titlist but he's mentioned Cleverly by name a few times.

 

Vince Shomo, a mini-Joe Louis, the most lethal left-hooker ever to come out of the N.Y. Golden Gloves. In winning four GG titles, he sparked most every opponent in the first round. For some reason, the magic was gone in the pros; and after a few lack-luster bouts, he packed-it-in.

Think he's a ref in N.Y.

 

Antonio Tarver

Tests positive for PED's in the Kayode draw. Never seen from again... Actually he made his first public statement in a year about a week ago. Says he wants to a rematch with Danny Green. No need for Green to suffer further brain damage than he did in their first fight.

 

Naseem Hamed was never seen again (other than in court) after his last fight against a bum I don't remember the name of [that was after Barrera made him look an idiot].

 

What's really up with Dirrell. He has more talent than any 168lb fighter and he's throwing away his prime years. Has Dr. Shaw-Hi still not given him the ok to fight?

 

This is one of the most ill-thought of opinions that is frequently thrown around on this forum.

Dirrell = well past overrated

 

Joshua Clottey had one fight after Pacquiao in which I thought he still looked capable of vulturing a belt with the right matchup. Hasn't fought since.

 

Kirkland fell off after Ishida fight....since then, his boxing record stood still while his arrest record went up by one.

 

Joshua Clottey, took his biggest payday against Pac and disappeared

 

Raw talent. Not skill.

 

Dirrell tweeted in February that he would try to rematch Froch by the end of the year. Good luck with that. Last of Dirrell's tweets? April.
