Fighters who left the game too soon

[jon09]

Paul Williams...Damn motorcycles

[TitoFan]

Naz left too soon. I wanted to see him get f*cked up by Barrera again, and then by JMM.

Ike Quartey

[uwey]

2 fighters come to mind. Ike Ibeabuchi and Harry Simon. Those cats were bad news in the ring. (outside also)

[Spicoli]

Sanchez may own that title fully, and it was our lose. Zack Padilla was a sensational all action fighter and top contender who was on the edge of stardom, only to see it ended while sparring with the now retired Mosley. With respect, maybe Hagler almost let his own pride whip his ass as bad as Leonard did not...think he had some left. Jemal Hinton was undefeated, on tv and of Kronk stardom with sure title looming but retired sighting "religion". Top champ 'Joltin Jeff' Chandler after lone loss?

Eh, Mayweather in a way. "Retiring" for 2 yrs after a career highlight win like Hatton ko still baffles and it killed prime greatness momentum. I think he'll still have a twing of "woulda, coulda, shoulda" once he retires.

[El Kabong]

Leotis Martin, he was the only dude to spark Sonny Liston out cold....too bad he got a detached retina and that was his last fight. He probably wouldn't have challenged anyone serious as his record shows he had already been stopped by Jimmy Ellis and out pointed by Bonavena. Still that KO was pretty damn solid.

Ike Ibeaboochi

ha

[Hulk]

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.
