    Just from what he has become, I think it would turn alot of young guys away from getting into the sport as a fighter

    I could be wrong though, im the biggest Ali fan here and didnt come from a boxing family, I got into it myself so maybe im proof that im wrong?

    Im confusing myself today

        I see your point; young athletes today might think twice before pursuing boxing because of the fear of becoming like the frail, brain damaged Ali.

            i think young athletes will be more turned off to boxing after seeing jermain taylor fight than a brain damaged ali, you will be haunted for life after seeing jermain

              pbf - the best fighter in the sport need to be more active and making the fights people want to see without excuses

              cory spinks - only fight i enjoyed of his was judah 1 he need to give some more offensive

              shannon briggs- maybe its is asthma but he should come to fight some rounds

              sergio mora- win a great show that give boxing fresh air but runs from the biggest payday of his live... the biggest embarrestment in boxing imho (i respect him as a man but at the end of the day he should have fought) causing us having to see spinks/taylor match up

              dela hoya - i believe he is one of the main reason mosley didn't fight pbf in feb plus he is in the position to do the most for boxing/fans but i'm sure he will be business man and not give us the best cards (plus tito fight)

              all promoters too...

              marg williams pavlik miranda castillo chico sam peters tito gatti cotto are all great for boxing etc....

                  James toney, the guy comes across as an absolute prick, what's worse is that he hasn't done **** for years and he's still talking crap. just retire you fat ****.

                    Mayweather, he says he'll do something but when it happens he doesn't do it.

                    Taylor is alright, he's not one of those boring fighters who isn't afraid to fight.
                    He's acting like Floyd right now though.

                    Others I can't think of...

                      I was going to say any boxer who stays in the sport too long but who the hell am I to tell someone they should retire?

                      Any boxer who holds too much like John Ruiz.

                      (On a side note, out of the ring Ruiz is known for being a real good guy, so I will give him that. I like to hear when boxers show some class in their personal lives.)
