What are the saddest cases of fighters sticking around too long?

Indeed but Marco looked so old and so small next to Amir

The fact the fight went on with that cut just made it clear that MAB was there to be a name on a young guys record and i really really hate that ****.

 

Roy.

 

Ali/Holmes and Leonard/Camacho off the top of my head.

 

That was the cunning plan from Warren and even Don Satan King.
The fight could have been delayed, but King had/has tabbs on MAB..gave him a nice cheque, brought his family along to enjoy the sights of the UK.
That 5 round ref stoppage was utter bull****..

 

Jerry Quarry. End of story. While Ali is certainly the more public case, Quarry died in his 40s and never gained worldwide prominence or fame. Heck, he never even who the title.

 

Oh **** the leonard/camacho was sad to watch. There was another Leonard fight where he got whooped on, maybe it was after the Camacho bout??

 

fuk , didn't know he died that young? How did he go?

 

Maybe Terry Norris and that was before this fight.

 

That would have been Ray's loss at the hands of Terry Norris back in 1991, He never fought again after Camacho.

 

Chavez down on all fours against Tszyu and DLH looking totally impotent against Pac are two that come to mind!

Also Tyson's last fights!

 

yes!! that was bad.

 

Yep... 1st two names that came to mind. Taylor is severely brain damaged and Greg page is now a corpse.

 

Sad stuff man, brings G-Man to mind although his was tragic not from not knowing when to quit.

 

Right now it's Evander Holyfield, thats just sad.

 

I dont think he's fighting anyone who could really make him look the way Toney did in 03', but when he decides to fight someone like a Haye or a Klit then everyone will be calling for him to quit.
