Can you think of any CAREER-ENDING LOSSES?

These losses might have occured even though the victim continued on with hsi career, but for all practical purposes, it was over. I can recall when Jimmy Thunder: got brutally waxed by Maurice Harris. He was 32-7 at the time, but then went 3-6 in his last 9 losing4 by stoppage. Mo ended Jimmy's career in New Jersy on May 20, 1997, even though immy retired in 2002.
Can you think of any others?

RE: Losses
This isn’t what you had in mind, but I remember Marvin Hagler walking away from the fight game after the controversial loss to SRL.
Dave Tiberi never fought again after his “loss” to James Toney.
Dave Tiberi is an interseting choice. He really won that fight and could have had afine career, but
he walked away in disgust because by continuing to fight, he would have colluded in something for which he no longer had respect. It was an uncommon act of courage.

Under completely different cicumstances and yet trying to answer Teds’ question “career ending fights” Billy Collins Jnr.—vs.—Luis Resto. Maybe life ending fights would be more appropriate in this particular case.

I don't know if this is right
But Calzaghe-Lacy ended his career as he knew it. Thing is, he still managed to “win” a bunch of fights and get on TV after that, so I don’t know if it really counts. Another in a similar category was Taylor-Chavez.
Marco Antonio Barrera ended Naseem Hamed’s career, even though Hamed had one more fight after that. Just mentally wasn’t there after the loss though.

Hi Sir Jack--
Yes that night was the end of Tyson as T-Rex.
Not on point, but just watched a young Lennox Lewis decision Ray Mercer on Classic ESPN. Even with a lot of clinching, that fight made me nostalgic. Lennox put together some vicious right hand to the body/uppercut to the head combinations and stood his ground when he had to.Some beautiful jabbing by both men, especially Mercer. Definitely not a Wlad-type fight.
Even though I was very impressed by young Lennox, I think Mercer would have beaten him if he could’ve sustained his attack. What do you think was the story on Mr. Mercer? Age, lack of dedication to training, or just a stamina deficit? I know lack of dedication was a large part.
But do you think the late start and a natural stamina deficit played a role?
by Don From Prov on Jul 17, 2010 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions
Don
Mercer’s one tough s.o.b and to say he has a good dig would not do him justice . The problem is that it takes more than that doesn’t it ?
There are lots of guys out there that are tough bangers but who lack the mental discipline to keep in shape between fights , take an easy training camps , drink , eat shit etc . Selodm are those guys ever mentioned as stand out .
I suppose losses to ( very stand outs) Lewis and Holy are nothing to be ashamed of and then there were some medical issues I believe.
However , Ray’s end of school report card will always read " could of done better" imo .
I’ll always remember Ray’s battering of Morrison and his Tim(berrrrr) Sylvia mma moment though – great stuff .

The baby bull
Juan Diaz’s loss against Nate Campell. After the cut he sustained in that fight, he has cut easy in every fight since when he has fought (except for maglinaggi, who has less power than I do). Entertaining still, yes. But he no longer can apply the pressure over the whole fight.
Honestly, I don't remember
All I know about that fight was it was supposed to be all action and Katsidis tried to change his style and it turned into an awful fight.
Also, Hopkins-Trinidad
Felix never close to the same fighter after Hopkins destroyed him.

Three Pavlik fights.
Pavlik-Miranda – Miranda, while never special, was certainly never the same fighter.
Pavlik-Taylor – Kelly set Taylor on the road towards the end, although Froch might have just finished off the job.
Hopkins-Pavlik – this remains to be seen, and I personally think Kelly has more to give, but there’s certainly an argument that Hopkins has initiated a downward spiral for Pavlik.

LOSSES THAT MEANT THE END
Marciano ended the long careers of Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott and Lee Savold. Roland La Starza was never the same after fighting Marciano. Rocky punched so hard he took almost every thing out of his opponents. On the reverse side even though Leotis Martin KO’d an aging Liston in 1969, Martin took such a beating his career ended with that victory.
As a Welshman...
Enzo Maccarinelli losing to David Haye is something I see as a career-ending loss, despite his resurgence.
Johnny Bumphus
went straight to hell after getting KO’d and losing his WBA title to Gene Hatcher in 1984. He hung on for a few years, but his career went nowhere.. Last I saw Bumphus he was being smoked by Lloyd Honeyghan in 1987…. Christ Almighty, that was ugly…….. Bumphus was shot……..
Note:
Honeyghan also waxed Hatcher in about 30 seconds, as well………
Still, Johnny Bumphus was one guy who lost it over night…. No real gradual decline….. Just gone……..
I also recall a hot 80s and early 90s ESPN dude named John Meekins at 140 pounds…. I thought Meekins had “champ” written all over him. But, he got his azz kicked and went to hell….. All gone…….
I’ll think of some more…….

Yes, he won the fight, and yes, he was still competitive for much of the rematch; I just wonder whether the abuse he took in that final round had a seriously detrimental impact on El Terrible.

And by the time I got on a computer, almost all the ones I thought of had been named.
Hamed/Barrera

Morales/Pacquiao
Oscar/Pacquaio
Hatton/Pacquiao (though some would say Floyd took away the ‘real’ Hatton….)
Tyson/Douglas
Taylor/Pavlik
Miranda/Pavlik
Pavlik/Hopkins
Jones/Tarver
Taylor/Chavez (possibly the one that exemplifies this topic more than any other)
McClellan/Benn
Watson/Eubank
Maccarinelli/Haye
There are others that I can mention:
Cotto/Margarito (although the temptation is to include Cotto as another Pacquaio-induced end-of-career)
Margarito/Richardson and the CSAC…. sorry I mean Shane Mosley….
Cooney/Holmes
Spinks/Tyson
Holyfield/Lewis (both fights, since Lennox clearly won both)
Bowe/Holyfield II (even though Bowe won the third, he wasn’t the same animal after that second fight)
Argullo/Pryor (the first fight- despite the black bottle incident. Arguello was never the same again.)
Eastman/Hopkins (Howard had the beating of Bernard, in my eyes, and I was shocked when I saw Hoawrd come out and effectively refuse to throw a punch. Hopkins was beginning to show the effects of age, and Eastman could and should have beaten him, but while Hop was fighting at 40%, Eastman was fighting at 20….. I think that was the point at which Eastman just looked in the mirror and said to himself, ’y’know what, you gave it a good go, but now’s the time…..’)
Mundine/Kessler
Also, there are others that we can speculate about, even though it’s still too early to know for sure; a prominent example of this would be Mitchell/Katsidis, or maybe even Kessler/Ward.
I might post more if I can think of any, which I inevitably will as soon as I hit ‘POST’…..

Why not? You might want to compartmentalize. Seperate the fighter from the person. Just a thought
Pray for Nick Charles
Is this a reply to me?
If so, please press ‘reply’. Thanks. ;) ;)
I do seperate the fighter from the person. It makes no odds.
Look, I hate Sugar Ray Leonard. He, and the bent or incompetent judges that didn’t appreciate that a round is more than than the last 20/30 seconds, cost us more of Marvin Hagler. Hagler walked away from the sport in disgust. In DISGUST, Ted. That decision was a joke. Leonard wasn’t there to fight, he was there to grandstand, and the fact that 2 judges fell for it means that Hagler,probably my favourite fighter of all time, retired earlier than he would have done.
I feel like something was taken from me, as insane as that probably sounds. Leonard tried to trivialize Hagler for years, tried to make him look stupid, went to crazy lengths to score points on him in the arena of public opinion. Getting Hagler to ringside so he could pretend he was going to fight Hagler, instead announcing his retirement; stuff like that. Leonard was a fucking prick. And then to get a decision he didn’t deserve, and refuse Hagler a rematch?
Hagler had another 5 or 6 fights in him, easy. What Leonard did cost us, you and me, and all other fight fans, the chance to see those fights. Had he not gone out of his way to humiliate Hagler then the judges being fucking dense might not have culminated in Hagler’s retirement. Losing a bad decision to a guy that had treated him that way publicly? That was never going to sit well with Hagler, who was one of the proudest guys ever to step through the ropes.
Does that answer your question?

So, to summarize:
I tend to just refuse to comment on Leonard. I just try to ignore him, since the site does not need my ire to be aired on a frequent basis. I dislike Joe Calzaghe, I dislike other fighters, past and present. I’ll discuss those guys, and my reasons, but I abhor Sugar Ray Leonard. And as such, I just don’t get involved in stuff about him.

Don’t know why.
Anyone who hasn’t seen it should have a quick look at the “Hagler/Leonard” installment of “HBO’s Legendary Nights”. It’s on youtube, in three parts. Leonard treated Hagler like he was some cheap whore, who could be taken or left on a whim.
Anyhow, I can’t forgive. And I steer clear of venting views on Leonard, as I stayed clear of doing the Hagler/Leonard Classic Round by Round. (120-108, anyone?)
.
All that said, I give massive credit to guys who do what most of us want them to do, which is get in there and fight. Tua, Katsidis, Andrade, Kessler, Bute, Martinez, Bradley, Alexander, Maidana… I could go on for days.

I like that stuff. Cambridge in the pool hall. It has the makings of an article.

That was filmed in Leicester.
And I’m the one in black. It makes me look slimmer. Lol

THAT'S SOME PRETTY IMPRESSIVE STUFF, RICK. IS IT ALSO A CATHARSIS FROM STUDIES?

It's Rich. ;)
And no, this was filmed about a year ago I think. :)

Matthew Hilton vs Robert Hines
Hilton hammered Hines early, dropped him hard, gassed around the 4th and got beat up for the remaining eight rounds. Absorbed career ending punishment and lost his belt – ruined in his early 20’s. Doug DeWitt then beat him up for the WBO MW belt.
DeWitt then faced Benn – great fight, both down but Nige took it out of him.

Mike Culbert says, "Say hi to Teddy
and tell him I kicked the shit out of you (prov) today."
An assessment that I won’t disagree with.
I did—half dead— point to the photo of Mike in with Duran at the end of the workout today and tell him not to take it wrong but I was glad that Duran got him. It took him a beat to decide whether to laugh or to pop me. Finally, he smiled and said, “Good one.” Whew!!
He really seemed to appreciate your article on him, Ted.
Said it was the best thing ever written about him. Like all fighters, he had some quibbles—
Geez,
a businessman until the end.
He did mention it. Maybe I’ll buy one for him as a gift—
If he let’s me slack off a little now and then.
I'll sell it to you for a pittance. BTW, I'll give you your when I see you next month.
Tell him he also is in my new book in the section on Brockton.

G'Day Mr Shares, Mr Perv
Hope you got his name right fellas. My mates are ripping the shit outta me – “so that’s how you got in the book?” – which is immediately answered with a dig to the body.
Too many double scotches or just taking the piss?

You should sack your editor/proof reader too.

This is like a guessing game of some sort.
The first post that I see refers to me as Mr. Perv,
which I take as a play on Prov
and a reference back to the joking with JC40 about the bikini post, but if you really think that I have even the beginning of a clue or, you are wrong. No idea whatsoever. If anyone seems to be trying to bust balls, it would be related to “Perv” and Laurel and Hardy. If that’s playing around, great. If not, I missed something but I’m not going to spend anytime guessing about it.
Generally, if I’m really insulted, I tell someone why.

No worries mate
Sounds like you don’t have a copy of Ted’s new book yet. My mates are ripping the shit outta me because of the way my surname has been misspelt. I’m just firing back with a dig to the ribs.
You were the proof reader right?
No dramas – I’ve been called a shitload worse mate.

I price this one up:
Kid Blast 7/4
Goatsnake 2/5
Kid Blast is the underdog, having stepped in late as a replacement for Don From Prov, who had to pull out of this contest, but he is a very live dog in this fight. Goatsnake goes in as a justifiable favourite, but with experience on his side, can Kid Blast pull off the upset?

oF COURSE, BECAUSE OF THE MISTAKE WHICH ONLY Goatsnakes'
FRIENDS WILL RECOGNIZE (AND ACKNOWLEDGE), THE PRICE OF THE BOOK MAY GO UP.

After struggling to get that zimmer frame through the ropes he’ll be too bloody exhausted – by which time everyone would have left the building.

Ah,
now I see. One of the sections—
a guest writer
—that I didn’t read.
Though, I will admit that I might have missed it anyway as I’m not looking for misspelled names (would I ever get out of the Far East?), so I can be found guilty in absentia (there is likely a spelling error just to prove my point). That the clues were a mystery makes sense now—

Why am I pulled from the contest?
Are guns allowed in the ring?

Now that would be a career-ending defeat. See how the topic has gone full circle? :)

You’re in training? For what? A chinese banquet?
So it’s your head going on my punching bag Ted? And Don I’ll see your axe-handle and raise you a sledgehammer. Good onya fellas

If I send you afew more books (free), will that ease the pain some?
I could doctor up the spelling as well using white out.

As long as you doctor your name on the cover to Theodore (Ted) Bares (All) and give it a nice lavender cover. I’ll flog em at the Sydney Mardi Gras – you’ll become a massive icon.
Yeah mate, that should ease the pain.

I think Billy Schwer's win over Newton Villarreal
Took a hell of a lot from Billy. He was knackered at the end, to the point where he could hardly speak in the post fight interview.
Jeremy Williams vs. Sam Peter
Williams fought only once after that, almost three years later. Still one of the nastier one-punch KO shots I’ve ever seen.
