    Remember the headbutt in Benn-McLellan?
    I think most of them are accidental;. They are nothing like Holyfield butts, or the ones barerra dishes out from time to time when he gets angry.

      With Kessler, he didn't ruin Kessler at all. Ruined fighters don't go out and knock off a top fighter like Froch (people will hate this but after beating Dirrell, Taylor and Pascal...Froch is a legit fighter).

      People used the "ruined" too loosely now n days. Ruined is David Reid after Felix Trinidad got a hold of him.
      streetbully is lame.

      "ruin" is his favorite word with hopkins and now he's using it for lame ass ward.

        When I see Ward fight an elite fighter from the outside and beat him, I'll give him his props. Now, he's just a bigger Hatton and rushes in like Berto. Allan Green was never good and Kessler is one deminsional.

          Reid had an eye problem before the fight, and Trinidad might have been using illegal wraps as Naazim exposed in the Hopkisn scrap. Kessler has had double vision since the Ward fight it seems.

            One thing I'd like to mention is how ****** sounded those commentators comparing Ward to Leonard they should be executed for that.

              Over the years many of you must have seen fighters that take on fighters that were very good, beast them in one sided fashion, and leave them in the state of ruined fighters either phisically or mentally. A number of examples from the past eras of boxing include Muhammad Ali, young George Foreman, Rocky Marciano, and Marvin Hagler, who would leave their opponents in shambles leaving them eroded both physically and mentally. In the current era the most obviosu example is Bernard Hopkins, who has mentally disfugured many top fighters in the last two decades in the sport.

              This raises the question of the curremt young crop of fighters, who is the soul snatcher that ruins fighters and takes years off of their primes today. When it comes to this a name that must come up in one's head is Andre Ward, a man who seems to have taken years off his last two opponents careers after dishing out one sided beatings, where both looked drained psychologically more than anything afterwards.

              The looks on Kesslers and Greens faces told it all. Beyong the swelling and cuts, one could see that they both had a look of grief and dispair on their face, which suggests that they realized at that point in time, that they lost the majority of the fighting spirit they had thoughout most of their careers as boxersa.

              This raises the question, does Andre Ward ruin fighters, take their souls? The evudence suggests he does, but I want your oinions. Thanks in advance as always.
              It must be the headbutt punch...
              No all jokes aside, I believe it's coincidental.

                Carl Froch ruined Kessler and he will do the same to Ward in the final.

                  I feel bad for Dirrell cuz I like the guy but he's going to be ruined after Ward physically overpowers him for 12 rounds.

                    One problem Kessler clearly beat Froch and had him ready to go at a point. Kessler wasn't close to winning a second or a round against Ward, and looked like a truck hit him after.

                      Physically overpowers Dirrel with headbutting Dirrell to death.
