The_budweiser Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Joe Louis. Roy Jones Jr. Muhammad Ali. Evander Holyfield. Ray Leonard. The list goes on and on. They have all done it. Boxing can be a hard sport to give up when a fighter has been partaking in the sport since he was a young teenage boy. It has often been said by boxers that fighting is in their blood. That statement could not be very far from the truth if history is anything to go by. But can it ruin one’s legacy when one still competes long after the days when their reflexes did not betray them and their tremendous punch resistance saved them from many edgy moments?

slasher092 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Re: Can Fighting Past Your Prime Ruin Your Legacy? i lean towards yes if jones had quit after the ruiz fight i'd have him top 10 all time ,compared to when he finally does quit , maybe not ruined but certainly diminished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
