When it comes to a boxer's legacy, what he doss at his peak is all that really matter

[THE THIRD MAN]

I think both Trinidad and Jones jr have not done themselves any favours at the tail end of their careers. Tszyu was smart in not coming back. Hatton shoud retire, my beef is with Hamed, gone at age 27? He loses to Barrera and does not come back for a rematch? Has one more dull fight and then packs it in? Huh? His legacy is tarnished.

I have more respect for boxers like Jones Jr who continue to fight late in their career. As much as I respect Hamed for being an incredible talent, he hasn't fought like Jones has fought in his late 30s and now 40s. I don't think your legacy is tarnished just because you don't win decisions against future hall of famers like Calzaghe and Hopkins. Jones knocked down Calzaghe and nearly knocked out Hopkins. These are some of the best guys of all time at Light Heavyweight. To me I respect a guy like Jones more than a guy like Hamed due to the fact that Jones continues to fight and is still competitive in his 40s.

Yeah Naz, happens when fighters dont get their own way in the ring once they are used to it going all their own way the tumble from the top seems further.

Same thing happened in that same weight class earlier on to Kovaks he was around the 30/0 mark somewhere, undefeated anyway and was crying that Barrerea and Morrales,Marquez and Naz were all ducking him;then bam he gets sparked by the Argentine champion and packed it all in for good. They had skills only when they are on the crest of a wave but fail when other true champions fight on.

George Foreman. Explain that one.

I think the whole of their career counts. We have to con sider how good they were at the start and middle but losses when they are past their best can be ignored
