    Sergio Mora! I know nobody likes this guy, but he has some talent, and could have made good money, but he does nothing but ***** and whine.

    Thankfully Cunningham is now a free agent and won't be fighting under Don Kings banner.

    god poor Brinkley thats a tough fight
     
  7. Hmm not sure about this. You could say:

    Floyd Mayweather - 1 fight in 2 1/2 years - 8 months inactivity.

    Yet he's not ruined his career.

    o yes Andrew Golota....

    Maskaev got the belt. ibragimov also, Valuev,

    Golota was so close with Byrd and Ruiz, I think it was a robbery

    But his "fight" with Brewster......we all know that Andrew was a slow starter:D

    Don't think it was the opponent, I think it was Don King ****in something up with ESPN and failing to secure the facility or something like that. The fight got close and King was strugglin so ESPN was forced to pull out.

    Actually, King lost the right to do the fight when it fell through and Cunningham/Godfrey was going to take place in Chicago on the same date it was originally planned as the main event of a local card there. Kathy Duva and Main Events stepped in and were promoting. It appeared to be a go and then Godfrey's camp decided that he would not fight, citing the fact that he had stopped training once the card was originally cancelled and missed two days of training the week before the fight would have happened. ESPN.com had an article about it.

    Tavoris Cloud: 3 fights total between 2008-2010. No scheduled fight.
    Chad Dawson: 4 fights total between 2008-2010, one scheduled for August.
    Pretty much most of the top Cruiserweights.

    I wouldn't call them wastes, but damn, it'd be nice if these guys fought more often in their prime years. Seems to come from HBO in Chad's case and Tavoris' management for him. For the Cruiserweights, I imagine lack of interest in the division (and thus lower, less frequent paydays) is the primary player.

    ok genius
    Spinks won a world title...yes, nice job, 4 titles he got one of them.
    what has he done "too much of" fight top guys? :lol::lol::patsch
    are u serious :huh

    having 9 fights in 7 1/2 years in your prime is a WASTE. mike tyson in his prome defended his titles 6 times in 1 ****ing year. out of 9 fights in 7 years, fighting guys like rodney jones and lattimore, miqel gonzalez, verno phillips....is a waste....yes he fought judah, mayorga, karmazin....
    but if you cant see that he somehow missed out on a ton of great fights , fighting 1 time a year, then you just aint too bright....:lol:
