Fighters whos flame's burned out fast

Mike Jones is the perfect example. It's crazy how both the rapper and boxer just needed one hit to call it a day.

this lmaoooooooooooo!!!!!!

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

He was already a 3 weight Champion and passed his best by then.

I live in the Bay Area, and when I talk boxing with people who know the sport out here, They say oh, That bum who got KTFO By Nick Walters and got Clowned by Rigondeaux. Scott Quigg is going to spank nonito.

That's your criteria, people who clearly don't know ****? Try actually watching a fight.

do you realize how successful of a career he had?

plus the guy is still competing at world level.

I'll add in Naz, retired at 28, over the hill by 26.

Chris Eubank, another high flying brit who achieved a lot in his 20s, was one of the best fighters on the planet but by the mid 90s, probably 94, he was 28/29 and already done as a truly top level fighter. Yes his career dragged on and he managed a few good wins but he lost every major fight post-Benn II.

That doesn't mean he didn't burn out fast, he was only about 27/28 when he lost to Hopkins, never recovered and lost every major fight that followed.

Gamboa-just from inactivity
Kirkland, Angelo, Vivian Harris,Audley harrison(or did he always suck)?

Vivian Harris was a good one...when 140 was poppin, he was one of the major players

Will go with Vernon Forrest~

Won his title off Frank, then trounced Mosley at his peak twice (2002). Then turns around and gets beat up by Mayorga and lost to him again (2003).

He had a small time comeback at 154 (05-08) but he was not close to the heat he had after the Mosley fights.

[The Gambler1981]

Ike Ibaebuchi, he was just getting hot with the Tua fight and his destruction of Chris Byrd.

Then that bat **** craziness finally overtook him
