      Duran...Whitaker...RJJ if he's not careful...but the winner is probably Meldrick Taylor. Saddest story in boxing period.

        Ali, he should have never got into the ring with Homles, or berbick. and Taylor. Holyfield is still pretty good, and could still take out a few in the top ten today.

              Some fighters who in recent memory fought on long after their strength, speed and skills have left them.

              Ali - what a pitiful sight! being hammered by a young Larry Holmes
              Holmes - he should've just contented himself watching Mike Tyson and NOT fighting him!
              Holyfield - Toney wouldn't have a chance standing in front of the Real Deal
              Foreman - Tommy Morrison looked good against him, good thing he wasn't KO'd
              Duran

                If Hopkins had already retired, what would that have proven? He looks better than ever and he's making more money than ever. It's not like his skills aren't there or that he's getting hurt...

                    Duran was one of them.That fight against Joppy was a disaster. Joppy simply beat him up badly.The worst beating he got besides his fight with Hearns.I also get the feeling that Tyson is stayin' too long as well as Holyfield.
