Boxer who ended most HOFs careers?

- Gene Tunney vs Jack Dempsey and Tommy Gibbons (2)
- Ken Buchanan vs Ismael Laguna and Carlos Ortiz (2)
- Hector Camacho vs Roberto Duran and Ray Leonard (2)
- Jimmy McLarnin vs Benny Leonard and Pancho Villa (2)

 

"As far as i know "and" as far as i am concerned." You got all four right. I believe Pancho was a featherweight, if that?

 

Hi Buddy.
He was more a flyweight.....

 

Villa was 115lbs vs the 17-year old McLarnin and contested his most notable fights in and around Flyweight.

Whilst McLarnin was Villa's final fight, he didn't end Villa's career. Villa's career ended tragically with his life from an infection he suffered shortly after the McLarnin fight aged 23.

 

Beat me to it Mike

 

That don't happen often.....

 

Hi Greg.
For those that don't know the infection was in his tooth, hope that does not come across as perdanctic ?

 

Hi Mike,
Not at all, thank you. Eerie parallels with another of my top 10 all time Flyweights Masso Obha, who also died tragically young, also aged 23.

 

You're too kind Mike. Many of your posts have given me a great insight I didn't previously have.

 

Thanks Greg, your words are truly humbling, makes me wonder why there is a lot of vitriol and foul mouthed posters, this site/forum is, or should be about , anecdotes, education, enlightenment, between posters with a love of our sport, not about point scoring, put downs, disregarding a fellow posters point of view, swearing, we can all do that, I despair when I see a someone denigrate a fellow posters opinions or point of view, there are no medals to be won, it doesn't matter if a posters says something you don't agree with they are entitled to their thoughts, as are we all, maybe I am tilting at windmills, maybe I am an old fool, but all I can do is hope....
stay safe Greg.

 

Manny Pacquiao ended ODLH and Timothy Bradley’s career, both of them are in the IBHOF.

 

Both Mike and Greg are pure class!!!

 

You, too, Flo!!

 

Yeah I am not sure I would count that, that would be like saying LaMotta ended Cerdan's career because Cerdan lost to Lamotta before he died in that plane crash.
