Calloway held the NABA Cruiserweight title for a while. NABA Champion is on the WBA contender's list. Ed Mahone fought for the WBO Heavyweight title.
They were shot and both retired after fighting de Mori.
Maybe Mark convinced them they should retire. How do you define "shot?" Many good fighters have lean stretches.
demori has fought mostly bums. there is no defending it imo.
show some nuts and he will earn respect. he will get bagged until he steps up.
people r sick of talk and potential, and stories of how hard he trains. its getting old.
its a hard game trying to be a successful boxer but u r judged on your results. his is mediocre. i think the dude has ability, but when r we gunna see him prove it to us?
Yeah, that's right, isn't it? You can just whistle and World rated fighters will come half way around the World to fight a bloke who has KOed most of his opponents.

18-1-2 with 16 KOs. If you think you can do better go and find yourself a trainer.
Hard to tell when you are serious and when you taking the piss
You were heading down the path of saying di Mori nipped Calloway's career in the bud earlier. Now that would have been really funny. Keep up the laughs

yet more poor excuses.
plenty of other aussies in the last few years have pulled their finger out and worked their way up the rankings and fought for world titles or have faced world rated fighters etc. etc.
start fighting guys worthy of getting fans respect. not just talking.
Is de Mori out of contract with Don King? Both his fights in the USA were on Don King cards after King swept him up with many other young heavyweights with all kinds of promises. King seems to have "warehoused" many of these fighters. With Kings influence and battery of lawyers it is hard for fighters to escape him.
On facebook de Mori says he is, But also reading comments he clearly states he is waiting to be resigned from Don King.
Which leaves me to believe he (de Mori) can fight anyone he wants to until King comes to the table.

Cooper and Calloway are both about ready for a pension and should have retired years ago
Bert Cooper challenged Evander Holyfield for the World Title in 1991.
It's got just as much to do about how many fights you've had and how many hits to the head you've taken as it has about biological age.
Calloway had 91 fight to Cooper's 66. Both have taken way too many beatings. It's not a competition between the two. Just simply that both should have retired years ago
