What are the saddest cases of fighters sticking around too long?

Louis being put through the ropes by Marciano. There's never been a greater reminder that boxing is not kind to its legends.

 

Camacho himself is having a crack at a comeback

 

the fact that pavlik is making millions and doin what he loves must be killnig you. your obsession with him is kinda sad.

 

against his son? why not..Ricans are crazy like that.

 

Virtually ALL champions go on too long but maybe the saddest is Ali.

 

Rjj

 

Meldrick Taylor

 

joe louis

 

Tyson vs. Lewis
JCC vs. ODLH
Bowe vs. Golota
RJJ vs. Green
Mayweather vs.Gomez

 

everyone on here that gives Pav a hard time think of this...gain 10 pounds...fight bernard hopkins...get your ass kicked...take your rebound fight to get back on track...get a staph infection and go to the hospital...iam sure youd be ready to fight Clubber Lang after that right bro?

but back to the question at hand...iam gonna go with Tyson...it sucked seeing the most feared fighter of my time getting demolished by Kevin McBride

 

This is a much longer thread than 'Who quit at the right time?' what a shame

 

Roy Jones Jr.
Joe Louis
Evander Holyfield
Ali

 

Jermain Taylor is doing his best to join these ranks.

 

Yep. And although I thought Gatti was a career long punching bag, I kinda felt bad for homeboi after he got his lip busted open by Alfonso Gomez.

 

surprised by the amount of roy jones comments. knocked down joe calzaghe and stopped 2 (not great) solid light heavy's gets dropped in the first froma shot from behind th elug and got up....not a great stoppage all honesty.


and it's not like green is a undeserving fighter. he had been in the top ring top 10 intermittently.
