    What boxers are the prime examples of management rushing them to a big fight, then cashing out on them leaving their careers in shatters?

    Yes David Reid definitely, 3 years as a pro and he gets fed to Tito.

    Pete Rademacher, fought Patterson for the title in his first fight.

    You could even say Lomachenko, while Salido is hardly great it's a lot for any fighter to fight for a world title in their 2nd fight. He's only 26 he could have been brought along more slowly.

    Perhaps even Canelo vs Mayweather. Only 23 and fighting the number 1 P4P fighter for huge money. Canelo is not even in his prime years yet.

    Olympic Gold Medallist or not, feeding Rademaker to the world champion Patterson made no sense. Patterson knocked him down 6 times in 6 rounds. Then they fed Rademaker to Zora Folley and he was knocked down 4 times in 4 rounds.

    Rademaker 0-2 and both by KO. What a start to your pro career.

    I would say Vargas against Tito. Vargas was too young but his management was afraid he will self destroy anyway so they fed him to Tito.

    Gerry Cooney is the first name that always comes to mind for me. Most of the other likely suspects have been mentioned.

    Deontay Wilder is going to join this club as soon as he fights a live body.

    Meldrick Taylor.

    Although he was still a champ at 147 (where he was fairly undersized and a modest puncher) and a world class fighter, he was declining, and rose from the canvas twice to win a hard-fought bout with Glenwood Brown.

    So what does his management do? Put him in there with Terry Norris.

    Nathan Cleverly, not rushed but a horrible voluntary v Kovalev for the last fight of his contract.
