What boxing legend went out on the sadest note?

I can't believe how many of you people are saying DLH, you must have a goldfishes memory.

Tyson's an obvious one.

Ali.. Gatti, anybody who fought for far too long and let the sport take too much of a toll on them.

 

Wayne McCullough, never down in a fight and he quit on his stool.. although he claims he isn't fully retired yet.

 

definatly Ali watch his fights against holmes and berbick! very very sad to watch

 

Ali. Seeing him as he is today is heartbreaking.

 

On another note I really feel for Meldrick Taylor.

 

Gotta go with Tyson

 

Johnny Owen

 

I think the Riddick Bowe story is a sad one.....

 

I find it painfull watching "the greatest of all time" now:?

Another more controversial answer is Naz.Hamed imo was on the road to greatness, but his families paranoia and his entourage of "you da man" bloodsuckers ruined him.The minute he started letting his brother dictate his career it was a downward spiral.The two men who'd nurtured him (Warren and Ingle) were pushed aside and bad decisions made.Watching Naz humiliated against Berrera was sad,a prime Hamed would have taken Berrera out in 6 rounds.Then the prison sentence and the pictures of him at ringside looking like a fat caricature of the man that made Robinson,Johnson and McCullough look like club fighters.

 

The legendary nights footage of Taylor is heart wrenching.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

if you posted this in the british forum you would of gotten more laughs

 

Ali..my elders told me that was a sad day!!!!

For me...Tyson (had tears), knew it all over!!! In fact the danny williams loss was the hurtful sight.

Trinidad when he lost to winky..he had no clue at all.

Morales when he was battered by pacman in the 3rd fight..that hurt.

 

Sorry to disagree, but Roy being gunshy is a complete misinterpretation of the fight, fans, experts all got it wrong. In fact, according to compubox, he threw as many punches as in the John Ruiz fight, which was in his absolute prime. Also, he threw and landed more than Hopkins a few months earlier. Calzaghe just threw and landed twice as many, so it's easy to look gunshy. Roy was the 2nd most successful fighter vs. Joe in number of punches landedm, only after Kessler. I don't think Roy has ever was as busy as Calzaghe, who despite holding back in the last 4, still threw and landed the most ever on Roy, almost throwing a 1000 punches.

Badly over the hill, yes. Gunshy, no. Everybody looks gunshy and out of breath vs. Calzaghe, just as everybody looks amateur and out of balance vs. Hopkins, or slow vs. the prime Roy.

 

My goodness man, lay off the crack. It may be too late for you though, as you sound ****ed up beyond reason.

 

If you have a problem with my oppinion please be specific on which points you dissagree with Unlike yourself i try to be constructive in my replies not just type witty answers.:good You are no doubt going to tell me how Berrera is an all time great and would have beaten any version of Hamed ? Berrera was handed his ass on a plate by Junior Jones,the same Jones who was glass jawed and almost stopped by a club fighetr from England called Richie Evatt.
