    basically.

    it appears those same tough cu/nts would rather retire than ''die in the ring'' !!!!!

    those tough guys think their fans will be there to support them when they become vegetables. the harshness of reality hits them too late.
    Morales was very skilled fighter ,and he was brawler ,skill is not only one style ,Duran was extreamly skilled fighter.

            True,May slowed down alot ,there is also more factors then skill,like intesivity or savagery ,thats what won Leonard fight for Roberto.

              yes.

              wasnt that may slowed down as much as his hands would never let him be the beast he could have been. also, its not rare for a guys power to not follow him as he moves up. pac can attest to this.

              those with more boxes checked are higher up on the ''most.....'' list.

                Once Mike Tyson lost Cus D'Amoto it was a wrap. You could even go so far as to divide Mikes boxing career in half. Pre Cus D'Amoto and post Cus D'Amoto. I don't think any of Mikes losses in the ring would have occurred if Cus was still around. In fact I don't think Mike would have landed up in Jail if Cus hadn't passed away. Call Mikes career what you will but he was the only unified heavy weight Champ at the time and the youngest man to do it. To call the man a Bull Dozer though is a far cry of the man's skill set and ability in the ring. Mayorga is a bull dozer....

                  Yep,hand problems and moveing up took his power like in many cases.Also i allways though he was cautious vs elite fighters ,he was destroying fighters like Gatti (C+,B-) ,but vs likes of Cotto it was diffrent story,as for Duran we got same Duran vs Bum and Leonard.

                    yeah, may had to up his defense game and some guys are tough to ko. after awhile, may was all about the w, by any means necessary.
