    Ali tops this one , it was pretty painful watching him in the mid 70's , Spinks , Holmes & Co was just un watchable .

    Yeah, Leonard did stay around too long, his last fight was sad.

    Holyfield is look sad now also.

    When should he have hung tham up? No performance was sticking out, like, he's done. More that he just wasn't what he was promoted to be. And Jermain is a guy I have a lot of respect for.

    What you mean wrong again? Bowe was coming off a nice winning streak over several undefeated fighters ending it with a knockout win over holyfield, are you saying he was considered over the hill and should have retired there and then? obviously the Golota fights wasn't his best performances but he was expected to wipe the floor with Golota.

    Personally I think Golota just had his number and sure you can argue that he peaked in the first Holyfield fight, but he was not way over the hill when he fought Golota he was still young and winning fights in impressive fashion.
