    Owen is more martial artist then sustainable pro boxer at top level. I was with him bf the Maskaev fight we sat next to each other at a Martial art event ,he trains under some my guys in his territory .Had a good run early and faded off ,Not so sure his location helped either for boxing ? Which is Tennessee ? I think his career was mishandled ,fought many weak opposition and got bad match making when it was time to step up didn't transition right so could be that K.O loss and that was that .

    Tyson Fury looks like garbage after being unconscious for a couple of seconds in the 12th vs Deonkey Wilder.
    We'll see if he can make a come back or will be KOed for good.

    That would explain a lot, His career was clearly mismanaged in that case and he should be a cautionary tale regarding putting your guy in with creampuff opponents then expecting them to go through the fire at world level.

    Can't even remember his name but the African lad who fights in Britain?He was starting to build quite a name in the U.K. and whilst I'm not sure if he was knocked out?he was badly beaten up and should of thought hard about the rematch imo.

    Funny I'd not thought of that?suppose he was knocked out for eight seconds and there's no telling how one will react to it,after all being knocked out is called brain damage.
    His next fight will tell us all imo.

    You could say Broner after Maidana was hugely effected albeit he didn't get knocked out but he was hurt badly at times and it's my opinion that this is what caused him to put safety first and forget to punch the opposition.

    One that comes to mind was Duane Bobick, who was stopped by Ken Norton, in 1977.

    For a while Jaidon Codrington seemed like he might do well....but Green threw a ****** wrench into that

    Also Jason Litzau was decent at one point.

    Edit: Wow...the racism is so rampant on here that you can't even type m o n k e y wrench? lol ridiculous. How about Stillson then.

    Kevin Mitchell still had a pretty decent career. Think it was more so his lifestyle than of the knockouts that he got
