What defines a 'shot' fighter?

[Thraxox]

What's your definition? To me, a fighter is no longer capable facing world level competition.

Loses to opponents he would easily beat in his prime

Emphasis on easily

If you mean fights between Klitschko and Samuel Peter, then this is a quite complicated issue. The Klitschkos are, first of all, clever businessmen. The older is even one of the biggest politicians in the Ukraine. So, it looks like a match-fixing, when such outstanding athletes as Mr. Peter or Odlanier Solis easily lost to them.

There's not one particular thing. To me, I think a fighter is shot if they lose or struggle against fighters they would otherwise easily beat.

Good example of current shot fighters just off the top of my head: Tyson Marquez and Evgeny Gradovich.

Guys who no longer can take punches and crack guys chins. Tyson Marquez was a good shout from an above poster. I watched that guy go to war a few years ago. He was a destroyer who could rumble.. he's been shot since the age of 25.
