    Wladimir Klitschko fighting like a ***** against Fury.

    Roy Jones not retiring.

    Liakhovich's career after Brewster fight.

    Maidana retiring too soon.

    Pretty much everything Pacman did after KO6, especially the BS excuses after Floyd fight.

    Cotto going to the ropes constantly and refusing to clinch, which was the byproduct of not having a real trainer and hiring his friend to train him.

    Evander Holyfield - He would not follow gameplans trying to be more impressive knocking out heavyweights like what turned out to be a mythical Mike Tyson monster beast that only existed in people's minds. Holy should've been more content in winning in his own way, being a lighter HW.
    Of course a couple times chasing that mythical version of Mike Tyson, going to war and not following a smart gameplan almost backfired, being stunned by Foreman because he didn't respect the old ATG, trying to destroy Bert Cooper who can bang, as well as trying to destroy a bigger fighter in Bowe for reasons I have no idea why. Ironically when he thinks there's a decent chance of being knocked out he follows a strict gameplan. He follows a gameplan and relatively easily beats Bowe in the second fight, when he fought Mike Tyson, and that big sasquatch Valuev (though he got robbed horrifically but at least he gave a gameplan for Haye to follow).
    I was not disappointed that he didn't retire early, since he's so tough, nobody came close to hurting him in the last phase of his career. Losing only to lack of activity that's typical of old fighters. Very odd that he had trouble lining up fights and was forced to retire from old age. I hope nobody was ducking old ass Holyfield. I'd like to know the real story behind that.

    I am disappointed in them because they wasted their talents.

    Cotto is a ***** when he loses and leaves the ring without interview. And he started talking in third person which drives me nuts. And the catchweight thing

    Fury fought boring as all hell against Klitschko

    Mosley coming back to boxing

    Kelly Pavlik letting his drinking ruin his boxing career

    Hagler not brawling with Duran earlier. He would have knocked him out if he did.

    Trinidad, Marquez, Roy Jones, Ricardo Lopez, and Nonito Donaire have been my favorite fighters in the last 2 generations.

    Trinidad- I didn't mind him fighting and losing to Hopkins. The fact that he even fought him and dared to be great is what I admired about him. Fighters lose, the fact that he quit after that fight and became a part time boxer/freak show after really ruined his legacy. He could of done great things if he stayed at 154 instead of quitting like that.

    Ricardo Lopez- The fact that he never fought Carbajal or Gonzalez really annoys me. He could of been a legitimate top 50 ATG.

    Nonito Donaire- Nothing really, just don't like him *****ing after the Rigo fight and being a ***** whipped little ***got.

    Roy Jones- Should of retired after Tarver 1. The fact that he's still fighting saddens me. I've never watched a fight of his after that freak show that was Jones-Hopkins 2.

    Marquez- The fact that he roided kind of irks me, but he only roided to beat a man he beat twice previously. Should of retired after that KO and shouldn't of fought Floyd.

    Froch retired at the right time. He was good to go, beating grooves ( In front of 80000 people at Wembley) was a decent exit. But really groves ain't in his league. A better fighter (not degale) would have beaten him

    roflmao !!!!He never fought a level fight in the last 10 years
    Every opponent that faced him faced . A juiced Mayweather, the NSAC, USADA & Vegas boxing officials. It would have taken a miracle to get a dec win against him in Vegas. Castillo & Maidana decisions proved that. If someone had KO'd him old Dave would still score a Froid 118-110 win ROFLMAO'
    If that cheat Ever gets inducted into the HOF the US will be the laughing stock of the boxing world
