Chad Dawson: I have 3 1/2 more years left
Anthony Peterson: I have 3 years left, I wanna retire at 26
What is wrong with these guys? Why do I want to watch boxers that would rather be doing something else when boxing is obviously what they are talented it. Thats why I love guys like Nate Campbell...
nate campbell???you do know he started boxing at like 28 right...and whats wrong with boxers wanting to retire unretarded???they make millions a fight..shit id retire to and start my own buisness..im not gonna go brain dead for someone sitting on the internet talking about me
who else cant stand people on the internet telling a boxer when to retire..and they havent ever taken a punch to the face???
these guys have been boxing their whole lives. i understand if they want to earn a couple of big bucks and call it quits. Boxing is a dangerous profession, might as well invest the money they earn in a smart business.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
exactly
Yea I dunno why they don't just wait til there actually ready to walk to say they're gonna be retiring. It makes it hard to take em seriously or root for em when they talk about not wantin to fight.
I don't like to see it. My reasons being three-fold.
For one, it's the whole 'one foot in and one foot out'theory that bothers me. Once you stop thinking about being a fighter, you are slowly slipping out of BEING a fighter. Bad news, when you're in a fight.
Two, I just think it limits how well a persons career can be. The younger you retire, the less you can accomplish, the less you have to overcome. The less money you can make.... Overall, it just makes you a limited fighter, or a fighter with a limited legacy.
And finally, three. It's like planning for your superfight, and forgetting about your tune up beforehand. You overlook things, and bad shit happens. You make mistakes, get beaten and it wrecks a whole lotta plans.
However, I, nor anyone in this thread, is the authority on how long somoene should get punched in the face. I wouldn't say I can't stand them, but they should keep that shit buried. Have it in the back of your mind, where it belongs. But don't let it drive your career. Bad news.

Has peterson fought someone with a pulse yet? And he wants to retire at 26? :lol1:
Dawson should give Johnson a rematch before his 3.5 years are up and he retires with billions..:fingersx:
