    Paul Williams. Even before his career ending injury, he already showed signs of slowing and was investing his earnings so he can retire early.

      Yes. Can Giovanni Segura be included? Their fight was my dream match and it exceeded my expectations (real FOTY imo). They're both done and they're not even that old.
      Both were ruined by Viloria

            Agreed. The man showed a hell of a lot of promise but it turned into nothing.

              DeMarco. I'd say Broner too, but I don't think he was ever that good to begin with.

                Of course Fernando Vargas, so sad the Fernando Vergas was Punch Drunk and done before he even reached 30 years old

                One of the reasons why I am extremely against this "Warrior" "Stand And Slug It Out And Block Punches With Your Face" BS, that is not "Boxing" and it is no bigger reward or brighter light at the end of the tunnel fighting that way

                  Felix Trinidad. He was never the same after Hopkins ruined him.

                    Demarco was never very skilled but was exciting to watch because the kids chin was solid and he loved to throw big bombs all night. He seemed to have a interesting career, often defeating the guys he should lose against outside of Broner.

                      are you smoking crack? Benitez had a solid career from 25-34 years of age. Losing to Hearns and SRL is nothing to be ashamed of and he did well for 9-10 years.
