I WOULD HAVE TO SAY MUHAMMAD ALI FITS THAT DESCRIPTION PERFECTLY. HE FINISH HIS CAREER AS THE MOST FAMOUS MAN ON THE PLANET,HE HAD WEALTH AND LUXURY.BUT HE SUFFERED TWO DEASTATING LOSSES IN A ROW. THE FIRST ONE AND THE MOST DEVASTATING WAS BY HIS FORMER SPARRING PARTNER FROM 1971-1974,"THE EASTON ASSASIN" LARRY HOLMES. HOLMES WAS THE ONLY PERSON TO EVER KO/TKO ALI.LARRY BEAT THE HECK OUT OF ALI,AND IN THE END LAYED OFF THE ATTACK A LITTLE AND JUST JABBED WITH THE OCASIONAL RIGHT OR LEFT HOOK. HE EVEN SIGNALED TO THE REFFERE ON A FEW OCCASIONS TO STOP THE ONE-SIDED FIGHT.ALI WAS FINISHED IN ROUND 11 AND THEN COULDN'T GET UP FOR THE 12th RND. TREVOR BERBICK WON A 15 RND DECISION OF ALI, BUT IT WAS ALSO VERY LOPSIDED. LIKE LARRY BEBICK SHOWED MERCY AND RERSPECT TO ALI IN THE END,SO ALI WOULDN'T BE COMPLETELY DEVASTATED. CAN YOUR GUYS THINK OF ANYONE ELSE THAT RETIRED IN THE SAME WAY AS ALI::-(
i would of put his old ass to rest wiht no mercy. these fighter that stay around to long after there prime should be put to rest by a young up and comer. it just the nature of the beast look at holmes vs tyson or marciano vs louis . this **** happens it's not sad . same thing will happen to b-hop if he keeps fighting on. i don't want to see it but it will happen:good quit your crying
