    Which fighters have had some of the worst managed careers in recent memory?

    Two fighters come to mind for me for different and almost opposite reasons...

    Fernando Vargas, the fighter was 22 or younger when he was facing guys like Winky Wright, Quartey, and Trinidad. Though he beat Wright and Quartey, the questionable judgement came back to haunt him against Trinidad and Vargas eventually became a very old 25 year old.

    Tavoris Cloud, the guy has talent but is chronically inactive and his management team steered him to sign with...Don King.

    For a while there it was Rafa and JM Marquez. Glad they got back on track.

    That guy is so overrated really. He is a punk and is never going to go anywhere with his career. I cant believe i bought into the hype for a while.

    Cotto would still be an elite fighter if his corner had not missed the loaded gloves that Margorito was wearing.
