    Louis being put through the ropes by Marciano. There's never been a greater reminder that boxing is not kind to its legends.

    Virtually ALL champions go on too long but maybe the saddest is Ali.

    everyone on here that gives Pav a hard time think of this...gain 10 pounds...fight bernard hopkins...get your ass kicked...take your rebound fight to get back on track...get a staph infection and go to the hospital...iam sure youd be ready to fight Clubber Lang after that right bro?

    but back to the question at hand...iam gonna go with Tyson...it sucked seeing the most feared fighter of my time getting demolished by Kevin McBride

    Yep. And although I thought Gatti was a career long punching bag, I kinda felt bad for homeboi after he got his lip busted open by Alfonso Gomez.

    surprised by the amount of roy jones comments. knocked down joe calzaghe and stopped 2 (not great) solid light heavy's gets dropped in the first froma shot from behind th elug and got up....not a great stoppage all honesty.


    and it's not like green is a undeserving fighter. he had been in the top ring top 10 intermittently.
