    All good names, but there must be so many guys, even ex contenders who are in worst spots than most of those guys, barring Danny Williams who is a sad case like that. Antwun Echols was in similar shape a couple of years ago, had a whole string of KO losses, could still be fighting. Vivian Harris I remember looking really dire in a stoppage loss a few years back. A lot of guys never make the big money, perhaps don't get stopped badly in any big fights and just go under the radar losing to whoever over and over again. It's tough to tell a guy he can't make a living when that's all he knows and so much damage may have already been done etc, I guess

    Holyfield should have retired after getting destroyed by James Toney 10 or 11 years ago.

    Holyfield nearly beat Valuev and in fact gave Haye the blue print to beat him.

    Valuev was literally the biggest bum in boxing history.

    Even John Ruiz whipped him and got robbed.

    Echols is about the worst I've seen. He used to be something. A long time ago.
