What Are Some Of The Saddest Endings To Careers?

Certainly cant be the example of this thread.

Nando as done but went out on his terms,at home in a full Staples Center in a competitive fight.

 

Still very fresh in my mind, Gerald McClellan & Michael Watson.

Doesn't really get much sadder....

 

Roy Jones easily.

 

Do you mean Joe Smith? Hopkins beat Pavlik pretty easy.

 

No, I mean Pavlik. The tall guy from middleweight. He outjabbed Hopkins to the face. It was sad. They used a condom full of cold water on his eye and there was a guy with a fan on his back that landed in the middle of it and a small riot where he got beated up upon but was okay and has since died some years later but the fight went on and Pavlik just kepped on jabbing him into ubsmition.

 

Hopkins beat Pavlik fairly easy and didn’t retire after that fight, Pavlik is alive also btw.

 

Probably Danny Williams, he beats Tyson 20 years ago and now hes fighting 4 rounders in eastern Europe and losing to ex lightweights

 

lol No. I was friends with his family in Port Antonio and his nephew got him with a steel pipe or something. He was much bigger than Hopkins and liked to wear his socks real high.

 

Watching Frazier fighting Floyd Cummings to a draw was not a great view. Not tragic by any stretch of imagination, but just that. Sad.

 

It's frankly a small miracle this version of Shavers managed to post a W earlier in '95...in fact just two months before this, over a more toothless Brian. He probably should have left well enough alone with that one.

 

Ya especially cause they used PEDs
