    You guys are picking fights where it was just literally their last lost and thus "they retired" or fights that were the career-ended fighter was on a complete downside anyway.

    Pacquiao and Oscar? Oscar was a complete shell of his former self and just had a lackluster win over Forbes. Nothing like the late 90's Oscar.

    Mosley v Canelo? At that point Mosley hadn't won a fight in years. Already gone. Maybe it was the final nail in the coffin but the ditch was already dug for the grave.

    People even said Ishida v Golovkin??!?! Yes, because Ishida was some dominating force until Triple G. lol. Yeah right.



    When people say fights that ended careers that's when a fighter is close to his prime and got beaten so badly or ko'd that they weren't the same after...
    think Davey Moore after the Duran fight...
    or Courtney Burton after the Julio Diaz fight.
    Lacy v Calzaghe is another no-brainer.
    They clearly weren't the same fighters they were after that one fight.

      Anyway....Meldrick Taylor post Chavez Sr. Never the same. That was an actual career ender.
      Top two that I can recall are as you mentioned Taylor vs Chavez and Trinidad vs Reid.
