Eh, no. He was 26 at the time and he lost 8-4 on the scorecards,and was never down or really hurt, so I dont think it was the "pounding" that MAB gave him. He did fight once more after that,as well. He just seemed to fall out of love with the sport and already had plenty of money. And if his problems with his hands is to be believed,that would probably be an extra reason to juust not bother coming back.
Haye actually has to be up there for where he left and how much he has left in the tank. He was head a shoulders above everybody else in the division not named Klitschko, he could have never taken the Klitschko fight and instead fought Adamek, Arreola, Fury, Potvetkin, Chisora, Helenius, Mormeck again, amongst others and made a tidy sum.
foreman in 1977 after young loss.........to bad he didnt have a rematch with young..........then fight holmes in 1978
I agree with you 100%, I think he'd of been knocked out too, because Oscar would of had the mindset that he needed to knock Tito out to win. Oscar wasn't flat footed at that point neither and for me, his feet were his biggest advantage over Tito. I only mentioned an Oscar fight because of the money it would generate :good
Trinidad fell off pretty quick once Hopkins KO'd him. I remember him fighting winky and coming back to lose to Roy Jones. Not many people talk about that fight with Roy and Trinidad.
I enjoyed it, but it didn't mean anything. Trinidad had been retired for years and was never built for 170, and Roy wasn't Roy any more. Good entertaining fight though :good
Roy was still pretty damn fast and actually toyed a lot with Tito. Looking back, Roy was damn impressive in this one. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-8IS94GFyY[/ame]
Nazarov and Jirov although they wouldn't have actually been capable. Arbachakov and Ibragimov are two guys who could have actually contiuned that i would have liked to see do so
