    Leonard being stopped by Camacho.

    Not particularly due to me being a fan of Ray - to see ANY ATG dispossessed of their once magical powers and being reduced to a mere mortal is always a tough watch.

    Also, the irony of a light puncher like Hector stopping a legend known for his chin and durability probably made it all the more worse.

    Not boxing but baseball....seeing Willie Mays fumble around in the outfield for the Mets in his 24th year in the league. Time waits for no one, as Mick Jagger once said.

    Britsh Bantamweight Johnny Owen challenged Lupe Pinto for the title in 1980, was KOed in the 12th round. They took Owen out of the ring on a stretcher and he never regained consciousness.

    It was a World Series game and Willie Mays went on to get the gamewinning hit in the 12th inning. Which was the final hit of Mays career. They lost in 7 but theres no shame ending your career with a World Series walkoff. Its one of the better endings to a legendary sports career.

    Danny please don't forget Antonio Margarito has ever been PROVEN! to have ever done anything wrong. No Plaster was ever found just a used gauze pad which Capitillo claims he put in the wrap by mistake instead of a new one. The CSAC were very careful about the wording of their decision to
    snatch Margarito's license to box in Ca away from him. It read " We still BELIEVE That Mr Margarito MAY have tried to cheat therefore we are taking away his license to box in Ca."
    I thought all suspects in the US were regarded as innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.. Margarito was NEVER EVER indicted.
    Now compare Floyd Mayweather Jr & IV gate ???????caught red handed receiving illegal excessive saline drip in his own home???? He was deemed to have done nothing wrong ????? Something isn't right here is it ?????/

    I'd be very careful making claims like that if I was you. One day you may be called on to prove that statement you made & you cannot neither could the CSAC. They ruined his career & tarnished his good name based on what was a blatant lie They removed his boxing license purely because they "Suspected he MAY have TRIED to do something

    Richard Grant being absolutely annihilated by a sucker punch by James Butler. And it was a 911 tribute/charity boxing card. Sad. Pathetic. Disgusting

    In his fight against Mosley, immediately following the Cotto fight, he was caught prefight w plaster of Paris in his handwraps. Mosley went on to destroy Margs.

    Margarito was never powerful again in his entire career. Almost as is the power just magically disappeared. Stunning really
