Re: Fighters who left the game too soon
Ray Mancini retired at age 25 or something. I know a lot of that was because of the tragic death of the Korean fighter.
He did return to fight Camacho in a close fight.
Its hard to think of guys that left too early, Danny Romero springs to mind I suppose.
Kassim Ouma too. He beat Vanes Martisyan and got robbed, which I'm sure was discouraging. :mad:

My first thought as well. However, Leaving boxing too early is an oxymoron.

He had horrible brain damage, in a sense he did leave too soon but on the other hand if were to leave much sooner, his family would have not been battered and he wouldn't have died.

Should he have been boxing in the first place no,but there is always some one that will give them a licence to box after a brain injury crazy.
