    I honestly think that the only thing keeping Couser in the ring is his dead on resemblence to Tyson...down to the Towel and all black.I think hes milked it too death .Good call on Polo Perez...thats just sad.

    Id add Kevin Kelly.This guy would be an outstanding commentator or trainer type.Others might have a very hard time getting a word in edge wise though.

    Oscar Larios....this guy should NOT be fighting.All heart,blood and guts...but I think hes gambling with health......Chris Byrd,Vivian Harris....I think both are showing big signs of being all shot to pieces.Buddy told me he read that Stevie Johnston was fighting again,God I hope not!!That last KO was absolutly scary,just savage

    Stevie Johnston! God, I hope not. Bob Mirovic might be another.

    Logan has over 60 fights and hes only 24 y/o! That amazes me, but hes ony been stopped a few times and hes fought good fighters. Hope he at least gets an ok payday before he retires.

    Many of the UK guys with horrible records (over 100 losses) have few stoppage losses and they seem to serve a useful purpose. They are designated losers if you will, but are savvy enough to stay out of harm;'s way. I cakk these guys the New Centurions.

    Peter “Desperate” Dunn is no longer desperate. He became a Centurion
    of sorts when he lost his 100th fight on September 26, 2008.

    He currently is at a useful 12-102 (KO 11) - 4; and has done some
    serious barnstorming, albeit losing, across the UK. Paul Bonson has
    reached 102 and sports an astounding record of 20-102-8; astounding
    because he only has been stopped three times. He is also capable
    of the occasional upset.

    It appears these lads are in a three-way race with Tony Booth (105
    losses) to see who can lose the most the quickest!

    Nigel “The Centurion”Rafferty, 26-69-9, put a different spin on the
    term, but fell far short in the loss column.

    And let’s not forget centurion Seamus “West” Casey at 30 (KO 5)-
    129 (KO 33)-5 in 164 outings

    These blokes fight often and seldom are stopped. There are many others.

    I don't think THEY need to retire.

    I'm surprised nobody has said Holyfield yet.

    As hard as it is to believe,yes.He had a fight months ago he should have got the nod in Imo but he got staggered bad in the process.His days of punching as fast as he can talk are long gone
