    IDK, trolling is your life. Guess you disguise yourself as a clown to fool the Billy goats trying to cross the bridge.

    38 actually and Wladimir had shown signs of slowing down vs Jennings prior to Fury fight, and Wladimir lost to Fury and also lost to Joshua after, so i don't see how Wladimir losing twice is making a point.

    I was off on Lewis age by just under two years. The point is a lot of Brits say Wlad was at his best (at 39 3/4) While Lewis was old and shot (at 37 7/8). People lie through their teeth to push a meaningless agenda on a boxing forum.

    I'm a Brit and i believe both points Wladimir had shown signs of slowing down, and was not in his prime vs Fury. But i do think Fury is always going to be a tough match vs Wladimir based on styles. Lewis was at his heaviest weight ever i believe vs Vitali ? don't quote me on that. But i believe Lewis's issue vs Vitali was the preparation rather than his age. And who knows Lewis could of started to fade after Vitali fight as he was getting on in age, maybe Lewis felt that or believed that and thought to himself. I've cemented my legacy lets not ruin it carrying on too long.

    Salvador Sanchez. Hard to believe he accomplished everything he did and was dead by the age of 23…
    He had 9 successful title defences and died the champ.
    He gave two all time greats their first defeats by stopping Azumah Nelson and Wilfredo Gomez.
    Fun fact, he also beat up Tito Trinidad’s father before he was champ.

    He wasn’t young but Marcel Cerdan probably didn’t fulfill his potential.
    He only lost 4 times in 114 fights and 2 of those were DQ’s.
    He lost his title to Jake LaMotta. It didn’t help that Cerdan dislocated his shoulder in the first round after he and LaMotta tumbled to the canvas while wrestling. Cerdan fought with one arm until he retired before round 10.
    He was killed in a plane crash on his way to the rematch.

    Zeljko Mavrovic probably doesn’t belong on this list but he did give Lennox Lewis a hard fight in his only defeat.
    He never fought again and ended up with some muscle wasting disease.

    Dave Tiberi is another strange one. Even though he was considered a clubfighter, he gave prime James Toney his hardest fight as
    Middleweight champ.
    He lost a split decision that the majority of people thought he deserved to win and promptly retired in disgust never fighting again.
    There was another investigation into corruption in boxing and as per usual, nothing came of it even though the judges were unlicensed.

    Was due to a change in his brain scan iirc. Sensible choice to be fair. Agree wholeheartedly re the robbery though, watched that live, disgraceful

    Detached retina. Won Lonsdale belt outright, so not a bad career at all, ending up 16-0 (12)

    Although he wasn't a prospect anymore and had taken a very hard KO against Maravilla and a gift against Lara, I believe Paul Williams still had a good career ahead of him before the accident.
