Moore had more than 17 years of boxing... I think him and Roberto Duran are the only two boxers that competed in 5 decades... Roy Jones Jr will probably get there, as he had his debut in 1989.

Oh god I hope not Roy needs to stop.

He sure did! That was my first viewing of Shavers back when I was a kid. And, being a Ken Norton fan at the time I wanted him to steer clear of Shavers at all costs. But, of course, he didn't & two years later...
 
I was born in the USA but later on, in my career, I fought out of Asia.
I was a big puncher who won the vast amount of my fights via KO. I won my world title by knocking out an Italian, defended once & then lost it by KO to a light-hitting South American all-time great.

Correct, and what a KO that was, he had Oyebola all over the place and was boxing his ears off, decided to lean out of the way of a shot and BAM!!!

What fun times it was back then on the British scene
 
Not a usual Who am I Post, but Mike Tyson tells something interesting here around 2:20



Can you think of boxers who knocked out world class boxers early on in their career and then didn't go anywhere? I wonder who Mike was thinking of.
 
I was stopped in the first round of my 10th fight, and the in 3rd round of my last fight. In between those I only lost three other times, once quitting in between rounds, and was a 3x world champ. I won 44 fights, 32 by KO.

Manny got slept in his 12th fight That might be one.
Rustico Torrecampo straight KO in 3 (15-8, 8KOs)
then
Medgoen Singsurat TKO in 3 (74-6, 51 KOs) in Manny's 28th fight.
No doubt Pacman is an ATG

Yup. Just watched the Marquez fights.

You know whats ridiculous? An early guess was Rafael Marquez. I thought I recalled him getting stopped early in his career, then I remembered him quitting against Lopez. Guessed like 5 others guys before I got to Vasquez. I did the same thing with the Verno Phillips question earlier in the thread.

The ones I think are hard people nail, and vice versa. The amount of knowledge around here is scary.

Marquez was always fun to watch

Mike said old timers though. I doubt he was thinking of Manny.
