Fighters who deteriorated alarmingly quickly

Riddick Bowe?

 

Foreman was Only at his Best in 1973 - then he got Worse v.quick.

Old Foreman only at his Best in 1990 And 1991 - Then he got worse v.quick too

 

So throughout all of his career, he was only good for 2 years?

 

all good picks....Meldrick Taylor is another one...

 

:rofl:rofl

 

maybe it has more to do with who he was fighting?:tired

 

I understand that, its just the way he put it, "Foreman was good for 1973 and 1990-91"

:good

Come to think of it, can you imagine if Foremand had fought Tyson and Holmes as well, maybe Bowe too and Shavers.

Imagine a resume that said Ali, Frazier, Norton, Shavers, Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Rodrigo Valdez. Although he was likely equally as past prime as Carlos Monzon was when they fought; on the way down already and possessive of one last hurrah well before he met Hugo Corro.

 

Armstrong, guy had a very short but brilliant peak

 

as it is his resume is amazing.....heck..he even has briggs on it

 

I definitely wouldn't say he qualifies for this thread, though. His peak was about as long as the typical fighter's is, really, and he was a world class operator for nearly a decade.

 

Meldrick Taylor
Wilfred Benitez
John Mugabi
Ricky Hatton

 

Donald Curry
Fernando Vargas(age 29 he was shot)
Jermain Taylor to an extent

A few that come to mind. They had tough fights so maybe their downfalls weren't "alarmingly quick".

 

My man Benitez. atschCan't believe that his name didn't come up in my mind.
