I think this will be a pretty interesting topic and I want to see what some of you guys opinions are. I'll start off with a few though.
Mike Tyson changing his team/using the corner personnel he chose during the Buster Douglas fight. Am I the only one who remembers them putting a plastic glove filled with water over his eye to stop the swelling? Mike Tyson and Don King Roy Jones dropping weight so fast. ODLH fighting Pac at 147 Evander Holyfield fighting with a bum shoulder Sugar Ray Leonard and Ali extending their careers too long. Giving fighters these super large sums of money for fights. thats just to name a few...I'm sure some of you older guys and more knowledgeable guys can give us more. |

Gotta agree with all but the money one..I think there is no amount of money you could give someone to risk their life.. Chris Byrd and Tarver dropping weight too fast and getting whooped bad because of it.. The ref not jumping in and stopping the fight when Emile Griffith hit Benny Paret about 20 times after he was unconcious on the ropes.. Ali not keeping Archie Moore as his trainer.. Riddick Bowe fighting Holyfield 3 times..Bowe is paying for those fights everyday..I feel really bad for him.. Any elite boxer who is willing to take a fight on a few days or a weeks notice,whether they win or not..If ya don't know you're fighting 3 weeks atleast in advance,it's not the best decision..It's a gutsy thing to do but could add a L to your record if you're not fully prepared.. There is a few.. |

Leonard coming back ONE more time and getting spanked by Norris. And then coming back just ONCE more and getting spanked by Camacho. Black True. Norris was absolutely unstoppable in that fight, but Ray fought like a true champion and gave it is all. I think Ray was hoping to expose Norris' chin. Now the fight with Camacho was completely embarrassing and unnecessary. |

- Not having +4 belts in each division, bring it back to the one title!
- Tyson firing Rooney - Jones moving back to LHW - DLH getting his last fights with Mayweather-Pac! (mho really stalled n fucked up 135-147) - Mundine fighting Soliman for a third time and not fighting in America which he should have been doing 4-5 years ago! - Catchweight (money) fights! If two fighters can't make the same weight without having one fighter, fighting out of his comfort zone or without any additional money or terms..maybe that fight should'nt be happening!? Fighters agreeing to fight at an unoffical weight normally means a fighter is running out of ideas, chasing money, wants his opponent to have a disadvantage or has doubts himself. By having catchweights it generally means one fighter (big or small) risks having a disadvantage and will not be able to perform at their full potential! - Fighters getting paid too much - Morales fastfowarding the tail end of his career by moving upto 135 to then moving back down to 130 his next fight! - Gatti trying to box against Mayweather - Harris agreeing to fight Maussa - Forrest going toe-to-toe against Mayorga in the 1st fight |

Mike Tyson changing his team/using the corner personnel he chose during the Buster Douglas fight. Am I the only one who remembers them putting a plastic glove filled with water over his eye to stop the swelling? It was a condom! What a buncha bums he had in that corner. Calling them amateur would be a disservice as amateur implies some degree of knowledge & skill. |

Mayweather Sr cumming inside Mrs Mayweather rather than letting it hit the back of her throat. That was evern worse than this QUOTE (Wikipedia) When Mayweather Jr. was a year old, his mother's brother pulled a gun on Mayweather Sr. "I told him, 'If you're going to kill him, you're going to kill me too,'" says Mayweather Sr., who was holding his son. "That's all I got in the world." The uncle then shot Floyd Sr. in the leg. |
