    For me, it was 3 fighters.

    1. SUGAR RAY LEONARD
    No dis-respect to Hector Camacho, But it was TOO DAMN painful to watch "Sugar" get DESTROYED Camacho. After the UD lost to Norris, I thought he was done...and when I heard he was fighting Camacho after a 6 YEAR LAYOFF.....I KNEW WHAT WAS COMING!!! SAD!!!

    2. ARTURO GATTI
    I had no problems with Gatti losing to Baldomir and Mayweather...Baldomir was just too strong and Floyd was WAY TOO FAST...But watching Gatti get DESTROYED by Alfonso Gomez was a F**KING TRAGEDY. About 3 months after that fight...I saw Alfonso at The Sin City Boxing Gym here in Vegas...I WANTED TO KICK HIS ASS!!!! PUNK!!!

    3. MIKE TYSON
    With Tyson, I don't know if it was Hanging on way past his prime as it was more of just the TRAGIC DOWN-FALL of his career. but watching Tyson get TKO'd by SOFT-ASS Kevin McBride was a DAMN SHAME. Peter McNeeley could beat McBride.

    Oh well...those are the fighters on my list. There are a few others that were hard to watch get destroyed later (past their primes) Donald Curry and Julian Jackson were painful to watchg also.

    hattons having a good push at getting on the list - if he starts getting koed by people who arent on the p4p list then he definately makes it.

    obviously tyson, jones,holyfield.

    nigel benns last few fights were poor - he didnt have the killer instinct after mclellan

    barrera/khan wasnt the greatest to watch

    Roy Jones in this era is the prime example if he would have retired after the Ruiz fight he would have been mentioned with the greatest.
