    DLH was shocked into retirement. He got old overnight and ended his career on a horrible note.

    Agree with the DLH call, but you're a bit over the top there. Give the old guy a break - that's what happens with inactive, aging fighters that try to drop weight: they get an ass kicking.

    And when he's embarassed, it's in front of ALOT of people.

    A lot of people jumped out of the Bandwagon in a way. Im still a huge Cotto fan and despite the loss i still think Cotto gives Floyd a tougher time than Margo due to their styles. Kind of like A beats B but loses to C.

    Agreed. I'm still on that bandwagon BTW, just don't like the matchup with Margo.

    I think Pavlik getting his ass handed to him was the worst. Cotto put up a good fight, DLH was semi-retired, Pavlik was approaching his prime and Hopkins was supposed to be a good name on his resume.

    I voted De La Hoya, but what about the results of this Evander fight and how it went down.

    Certainly, but I think he was also rushed because of that eye problem as well.

    Diaz is still a major player.

    Davey Moore loss to Duran is another.

    Jerry Quarry also smoked a few "up and comers" (Mack Foster, Ron Lyle, Shavers, etc.) in his carrer too.
