Which one of these fighters ruined themselves more. All of them had success in the ring but all of them lost focus and screwed themselves, their mental focus was just not there. If others deserve to be mentioned name them.

IMO Mike just screwed himself, but it's just not him. People around him trying to leech money, etc....
Zab is still young and can still make a better career.
Vote you bloody SOB's, what so hard about clicking a fucking icon or adding who you think it is, this is not Cambrige University it's very bloody easy.
I think James Toney is another good candidate.
His attitude to conditioning was fairly self ditructive..... *POP* ;D

Tyrell Biggs?
Riddick Bowe?
The guy who was going to be the next Duran and then got sent down for rape - latino guy from California, I think. he got out after 15 years and did it again? What was his name??
Bowe is a good pick, I remember when I was in the Marine Corps (US Military) he joined because he said it was his childhood dream, he quit after three day's, he was a fruitcake, great talent horrible brainsQuote:

I will always maintain that prime Tyson was a match for anyone. Only Ali had the boxing brain to perhaps come to terms with that....
Zab is still young and has time.
Tyson wasn't self-destructive just unmnotivated
Golata didnt have the mentality
I'd say Riddick Bowe for all his lack of discipline to training and eating so much took his skills from him, he ruined his prime on birthday cake!!!
urrmmm im gona say all of them
but i'll point out some feelings while im here
mike.... still was and will always be regarded as one of the best boxers ever
zab.. never got done for drugs etc.. he isnt as self destructive as he is jus disliked, plus hes young enough to sort it out if he picks the right fights etc...
galota just did a few weird things wrong which he easily could have stopped himself from doing .. i mean it wasnt drugs or break downs like mccall or anyone
peace
tyson tops the list for the biggest waste of talent in the history of profesional sports,if his power and aggression could have been properly harnessed and controlled,he might well have been the greatest EVER!!!
oh and i left out spadafora....
he was pretty big for a while..
what a nut!! didnt he shoot his girlfriend in the chest or something? hah loon
peace
nah not greatest everQuote:
