    Why? He’s just showing his insecurities and possible alcoholism.

    Camacho was never the same quality of fighter after his first lost.

    Chavez Jr, was seen as the next superstar of boxing with the greatest chin in the sport but after that Martinez loss he became a big joke.

    True, Flash. Well put. However, I believe Mugabi suffered a nasty eye injury against Duane Thomas, hence the stoppage.

    Is it possible no one mentioned Jones Jr . The disqualification aside, post Tarver 2 he was done as a great fighter,

    William Guthrie is another.

    A lot of folks really really liked the guy when he was on that undefeated run of his==kind of a busier version of Tarver. But Johnson sure did put an end to that and boxing fans sure jumped off the bandwagon in a nanosecond.

    He got thumbed if I remember right. But plenty of fighters have fought through that. Including Mugabi himself, if I remember right, against "Hard Rock" Green.....
