**This should make for a good talk**

Just came across this article....


FOX Sports on MSN - Boxing -


DISCUSS!!! :)

Can't believe L.T. didn't make the list....

Vick deserves a mention at the very least.

I like lists that are fall from graces more then just train wrecks. Anyone can be a train wreck, it takes more to fall from grace. That reminds me of the Nickatina lyric "It's the beginning of a train wreck" right to open Caught in a Verse where he rapped about his childhood.

Anyways, for guys who were on top and fell off in a big way.

Darryl Strawberry has to be on the list regardless of what it is but he's doing good now I'm happy for him. But he's definitely gone through his fair share of trials and tribulations.

That's all I can think of right now. Oh and Bonds.

I met Tommy Morrisson on Thursday and he reeked of weed. But hey, it was Thursday.

Darryl, good one.

How about "La Escopeta" & "Vita" I know the writer for this article wouldn't list them but they are def. tragic endings to great careers especially Monzon who was possibly more recognized on a world wide scale.

What about Dwight Gooden....Dont recall to many details but always remember hearing about He & Strawberry when with the Mets.....good topic Mick..one to think on ;D

O.J. Simpson is not a train wreck, he is a murderer.

John Daly seems like a cool dude.

But the glove did not fit..... :rolleyes:

and if you want to talk guys whose stock went from the hundreds down to pennies, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Their numbers (and legacies) will always be tainted.
