    After all is said and done, which boxer makes you feel bad?


    Oh, and by the way, if someone isn't in the poll, feel free to just say their name.
    I know the tears get mighty heavy for some kids when their idol isn't in a poll.
    It's ok. Just list him.

    Meldrick Taylor had his career defining moment stolen from him by the Don King/Richard Steele connection and never even had the satisfaction of knowing the brain damage came in a win.

    The other things can have merit about Paulie but you are talking out of your arse here.

    Hes Charlie Zelenoff with skills, if you consider Charlie to be intelligent, then I guess he fits your description then.

    For the record... I have absolutely no pity for Tyson. Spoiled ******* who shouldn't have pity from anyone.

    I would say Joe Louis. Didn't he lose all his money before he died?

    On the List.......Joe Louis


    Off the list........Ken Buchanan....could not handle money ( too trusting ) and seems drink likewise.he should have had a rematch with Duran,even though he would have lost.Definitely my P4P British fighter and was never afraid to fight anyone anywhere,& just unlucky to be be around the same time as Duran

    I dunno. Maybe losing a close decision and retiring rich to be a film star somehow compares to having brain damage or dying a poor man after earning millions?
