    Golota was a head case.

    Judah's problem is he had no chin (king of the crappy chins)

    Tyson's layoff hurt him plus he was a psychopath

    80s heavyweights were a joke that couldnt stay off the donuts

    Those with the lack of willpower and fire that come to mind are Starling, Benitez and Stve Cruz was only good for one fight

    A little flighty but extremely talented and dirty: Hector Camacho

    Most tenacious and determined-fighters that could pull it out with blood streaming down their faces: Galindez, Saad Muhammud, Hagler

    Most withering attack from a fighter: a young and hungry Dwight Braxton, Hagler, Tony Ayala Jr

    Bugner killed a man in the ring during the beginning of his career, and I hardly see anyone faulting Ezzard Charles for losing his fire after he killed someone.

    I wish I could remember why but as he got older, He went from being a sharp and aggressive slickster to a cautious jab n grab sort of dude.

    It was probably JCC. Just blame it on him.

    maxie rosenbloom no fire??

    Ok there is no film on the guy, but still he is a greaqt fighter, and one of the best boxers ever, sure they call him slappy, but his defenses most be off the wall to be able to beat Walker with slaps.

    Bugner probably fought with as much fire as a pacifist possibly could.
