    Eddie Cook....thought this one would be something lasting.Burned like a meteor

    Humberto Gonzalez....not 'shot' in war with Sorjaturong,gave and took.Just think it all caught up and career was a wrap at 29

    The Ruelas Brothers.......Jeff Fenech.The 'comeback' Nelson event aside.

    Agree. Hamed was more of a quitter than a shot fighter

    Nope, lame from the gate. His career starting going downhill after he punched himself in the face.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Ricky Hatton is 30 now isn't he? I think we may look back on this forum and agree the best is way past him.

    Zab Judah is a shadow of himself at 23 years old!

    Thought Mancini had some trouble after killing that one guy in the ring. He was only in his mid 20's... Kind of shot.. mentally anyway.
    "Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."

    - and I quote from some random guy on the internet

    We could probably say that about lots of fighters that received a few sound thrashings in their 20's. It takes a bit out of you.
