What was the most heart breaking demise..

Ali's is definately the saddest cos his decline is so well documented.the world watched one of the greatest fighters ever deteriate to the point where it was truly sad, the holmes and berbick fights were horrible to watch. holmes and berbick were not fit to lace the mans boots when he was in his prime. yet he hates people's pity, he doesnt want us to feel bad for him. but its heart breaking whats happened to him. but for me its tyson too, and to a certain degree eubank and benn also, as i was only 6 years old when Ali's decline happened, and grew up watching tyson, and the rest. mike had so much potential in his early years yet threw it all away. i honestly think teddy atlas should be mentioned along with cus, jacobs and rooney, when people talk of him losing them having a detrimental effect on his career as i think teddy could have kept him on the straight and narrow, even if just for a little longer. but it was tysons fault he lost atlas's influence in his life anyway. i remember the night danny williams beat mike well, and for me thats when i knew it was over for mike.

 

Greg Page, all that talent and look at him now in a wheelchair and could die anytime.

dont have a good enough computer to watch this but what happened to Bobby i watch alot of his foghts but dont know much about hm but he is one of my faves

 

Bobby has profound pugilistic dimentia, and basically lives off the charity of others. He gets his spending money by picking up cans, and there is a pastor who looks out for him.

 

shame they guy was a great fighter and always exciting (hence the puglistic dementia)

it shows you how fickle people are in the day he had heaps of fans and was adored now hes picking up cans for a living

also didnt his wife committ suicide after the boza edwards fight

 

Yes, about a year after the first Edwards fight.

 

This sad story nerly had a fairytale ending when he won the WBA title from Valuev.

 

While the post career decline of Joe Louis is a sad story it isnt all as bad as it apears.

People think it is sad seing him reduced to working as a greeter but that was his choice. He loved the atention and the adulation and I think increasingly retreated into it as his financial situation deteriorated.

I think in his own way he was happy.

Also his third wife who was also the first black woman to study law at Harvard University managed to secure him some concesions from the IRS which held them at bay for the remainder of his life.

 

Roy Jones for me. It was just unnatural

seeing him showboat around against Sheika but actually unable to put him down was depressing.

Recently someone asked who would win between Jeff Lacy and Roy Jones and i actually thought twice.

 

Damn I didn't know about that...

 

this is kinda like bobby was

but have you guys heard of robert guerro whos wife is terminally ill with cancer and he has o look after the kids and her and train to make a living as a boxer
