Why Do British Fighters Retire So Early?

Which British fighters actually retired early? I can't think of any. Calzaghe and Lewis were both about 37. Hatton still hasnt said he is offically retired and has abused his body outside of the ring. Khan and Haye have only talked about retiring early and have not actually done that yet so you cannot take their word for it. So to sum up, this thread is based on nothing factual other than total drivel. I think what could be said is why do american fighters fight for so long? I mean look at Hopkins and Holyfield. They will end up like brain dead vegetbales fighting into their fifties.

Calzaghe quit despite a possible rematch with Hopkins (who no doubt embarrassed him in the first fight) that would have at the very least, made his legacy look better. Hatton quit after an embarrassing and devastating loss. Makes sense... Its a smarter move than, say Roy Jones who, after a devastating KO is still fighting. But I think he would have been an interesting mix in today's 140lbers if he kept going. Hamed quit after getting embarrassed by Barrera. I guess embarrassment is the #1 cause of retirement for most UK fighters. Edit: Forgot to mention Lewis getting embarrassed by Klitchko. Lots of people wanted a rematch but he retired before it happened.

Lmao, I really like the last choice

Future ATG SMW. He made Smith look like a bum. Or should I say, he made smith look like the bum he is. I like him as well. Not his attitude though. So he's the new Great Britain?

Perhaps the steroids American fighters take, does not allow them to have as much longevity? That kinda made no sense

DeGale???? I really like Degale, I think he will be something big

Not to worry, though. The Real Great Britain Is Rising. DeGale????

If they have zero the Aussie fighters must be below zero. :lol1: *cough* Mundine *cough* Fenech fought on though.

The British, in particular the English, are mentally conditioned from an early age to blossom into quitters with no heart, which is essentially every so called "great" British fighter of the past few decades. Poms are the most useless pathetic boxers in all of boxing. Zero talent. Zero heart. Zero cojones. If they have zero the Aussie fighters must be below zero.

Hatton didn't lose his fans, I think it's the nature of the british PPV. They can make so much money domestically in the UK because once a fighter picks up steam they become REALLY popular which only seems to happen to a select few American fighters. Calzaghe was quite old anyway, Hatton had made his money and seemed like his passion for the sport went after he realised he couldn't beat the best in Pac and Mayweather and it does seem like less of them end up broke (with Eubank being the exception)

They've been exposed by then, and just give up because they've lost their UK fans backing them. Lost their fans? I don't think so.

Do you have any examples? Most fighters talk retirement but few actually does it.

They retire so they dont become mumbling retards like yourself.

they make so much money from ppv. Hatton worth about £50m.
