Boxers with the most shameful ways they endedtheir career?

Opening post is laughable.

 

Undefeated Olympic Gold Medallist HOFer.

Retired on his own decision.

 

It’s not the most embarrassing end of a career, but it’s a very bad way to end a career.

Mike Tyson.

What a beginning of a career, and what an end; what a contrast.

 

The most shameful way to end a career?

Ever heard of Pipino Cuevas?
Or going another route Eric Molina?
Or going yet another route Tony Ayala?

 

What would you suggest a 'weight bully' should do, if he can safely make 140? Fight at 147?

I get the point one advantage - weight - can negate disadvantages in terms of skill set but nearly all fighters try to squeeze their natural physique into the lowest possible weight division, it's just some have innate advantages due to their physical make-up - probably as basic as percentage of body weight which is water. That can vary greatly from person to person.

Just like some boxers have greater natural speed, or power etc.

Speed bullies? Power bullies? Both sound absurd. So does weight bully when put in that context...

 

GGG, takes 1st loss of career, completely ditches being an active fighter and fighting top competition.

 

I'm a fan of RJJ but he fought on for wayyy too long. The last 10 years of his career were essentially meaningless.

 

Yes, there are weight divisions for a reason - precisely - that's why we have weigh-ins to make sure no one abuses the limit; and if you can make weight at 140, you can fight at 140...

EDIT: I would support some kind of rehydration limit, though. But there doesn't seem to be much support for introducing a 2nd, binding, fight night weigh-in probably because promoters don't want late cancelations or boxers not fighting for a belt because they failed to make the rehydration weight...

 

Those 3 are the poster children for this thread
