What career are you the most sad about?

[:Bobby:]

Is it Rid**** Bowe, who was shot at 29?
Is it Mike Tyson, who could have retired at 90-0 maybe?
Is it Vitali Klitschko, who lost the two big fights he was in?
Is it Andrew Golota, who ... well, you know?

[THE REAL NINJA]

1. Tyson.....what could have been
2. Bowe ...I wish we could have seen him fight Foreman,Tyson,Moorer,Lewis,Briggs and so many others
3. Golota...spent so many years in the top 10 but could never pull it off
4. Klit ...

Michael Watson.

[GEOFFHAYES]

Maybe Herol 'Bomber' Graham, who was too evasive.

He was known as the greatest defensive boxer in the world in the early 80's, which is why they wouldn't go near him.. he couldn't sell tickets, either.

He didn't get his shots until his reflexes had gone..

Tyson could have retired at 90-0? Is that a joke?

Bowe is probably one of the biggest underacheivers in Heavyweight history. His infighting skills were unbelievable. No way could Tyson have been 90-0 with his style. He was made for a short shelf life. I think it is nessecary for a fighter to lose it makes you as a fan know why you are a fan. I have been physically sick when fighters have lost before after putting so much into writing them letters and being a fan. It shows they are human.

From the list above...easily my man Bowe.

It was supposed to be 50-0, then retire...that's supposedly what Jimmy Jacobs and Bill Cayton had in mind...They thought Tyson could reach that point by 28 years old or so...plans don't always work out.


Atlas said on ESPN before that he was disappointed with Tyson because he was supposed to have an impact on society/youth, like the Ali of his day...No other fighter of Tyson's generation had the ability to have such an impact, Tyson had the World's attention, especially the troubled kids in the ******, but he couldn't live up to what "they" had in mind. I don't blame him though, D'amato and Jacobs died and Tyson wanted to call it a day...but even before that, I think Teddy was right, Tyson should of been disciplined more, but since D'amato was in his last days, Cus wanted to push as fast as he could...People say it doesn't mean that if Cus had stayed alive that Tyson would of been fine, but just look at the other example of Cus's students, Floyd Patterso, and Jose Torres...Patterson and Torres was the finished product of Cus...Cus once said something on the lines of, "I am a success only when I am able to create both a Chamion and a person who can stand on his own two feet, when the person doesn't need me anymore, I am a success"
