    Which fighters have had too many chances to succeed?

    Im all for second chances. But what if they turn into 3rd and fourth chances to succeed in boxing? Then it gets annoying. Im not talking about losing and then losing rematches. Im talking about fighters who miraculously are hyped back into the boxing scene even though they're looked terribly. You could add Rahman to this list, but he stays off this list as he beat the legetimate champ in 2001 (he's beaten someone better than Vital or Wlad have ever beaten).

    Wladamir Klitschko
    Dominick Guinn
    Derek Gainer
    Arturo Gatti (Augustus is like Gatti, except without a following)
    Hector Camacho Jr
    Junior "Martien" Witter (dude ran from Zab a couple years ago and wants the American public to respect him)
    Kirk Johnson
    Oleg Maskaev

    You could add Golota, Botha but lets be real, they were picked to be punching bags.

    (Forgive my spelling, just wiping the cold out my eye. Got a good sleep in .)

      Kirk lost to Ruiz and got KTFO by Vitali. I dont wanna see his fat ass no more. Wladamir... last four years. Have you seen him fight in the last four years?

      Golota, aint in the running in my view. No one thought he'd beat Lewis or Tyson. He was just a pushover.

          I leave him off that list. He actually beat people even when he was old, he KTFO Golota Bruno etc. He was still live cause of his punching power. Im talking about fighters that never did SHYT and were hyped back time after time despite looking terrible.

            Most of the fighters you mentioned aren't even getting title fights so I don't know what the hell your talking about. It's quite obvious from most of the posts I have seen that you have very limited boxing knowledge and you are extremely biased.

            What do you expect them to do after a loss? Just roll over and die?

              Man, all these fighters have some hype around them and when they do step back into the picture they lose or look terribly. Does that make sense?

                What's so annoying about getting beat and trying to make some money to feed their families. Man, honestly, you're not a fighter you wouldn't know.

                    Yeah, I agree with you about the Wlad thing BUT he will be champ sometime soon, he made 2 mistakes against Sanders and Brewster but I guarantee he will knock them both out in a rematch. Dominck Guinn isn't getting any second chances...just Toney is picking on a bum. Arturo Gatti is the most exctiting fighter today...why the hell would you not keep televising his fights? You have some good logic in spots, but in others you are clueless, or at least it appears this way.
