Boxers who held on 2 long

[Exciterx30]

I forgot to mention Julio Cesar Chavez and now Miguel Angel Gonzalez.
They both share a common executioner in Tzyu.

1 word. Holyfield. He used to be my favorite boxer when i was growing up. to see him get destroyed by James Toney, was like finding out santa claus isnt real when you are 2 years old. man i almost cried.

[The Fix]

how about rid**** bowe it think the man is now retarted or has some kind of brain damage. others could be jcc or holyfield.

Most fighters hang on too long and there are too many to list. Some notable ones are Joe Louis, Roberto Duran, Evander Holyfield, and Jim Jeffries never should have come out of retirement to fight Jack Johson.

Holyfield and Meldrick Taylor. Add Bowe to this list too.

[SonnyG8R]

Lots of fighters have hung around too long.

Duran was one of the more glarring examples. He hung on for almost 12 years and 30 fights too long.

Norton
De La Hoya

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.

but will it be worth Holy taking out a couple contenders if he cant speak back to his grandkids and has to communicate like Steven Hawking?

[Silverfox]

De La Hoya is already 3 to 4 fights past the 'overdue' date. His ego is going to cause irreparable damage.

Marciano was a shrewd dude! One of a handful of guys still left with a brain! Mickey Ward made his due dollars and got out as well....As did Brian Mitchell.
