So, Mosley is fighting Cano, Holyfield is still active, Riddick Bowe made noises about a return last year.
Which fighters do you think went on far too long and when do you think they should have quit?
Currently: Roy Jones, James Toney, Shane Mosley, David Tua, Enzo Macaranelli, Anthony Mundine, Jermaine Taylor, Cory Spinks, Fernando Montiel, Nobuo Nashiro, Ali Funeka, and Juan Carlos Gomez.
I won't name obvious one's. I want to talk about active fighters who it's not that obvious that they're done.
Juan Manuel Marquez continuing to fight after the biggest win of his career at 39 where he was visibly hurt and looked the worst he's ever looked against Pacquiao, despite the two big right nuclear bombs he landed.
Floyd Mayweather Jr signing a 6 fight deal at 36 years old. To be fulfilled by 2 years. Yeah, I want to see that.
Bernard Hopkins could have retired right after the second Pascal fight. Wins over Cloud and possibly Cleverly would be good wins against young, undefeated, top 10 fighters but not as popular as beating Pavlik and Pascal.
I disagree with every word you wrote.
First off, Juan Manual Marquez is in for one big payday, which is reason enough to continue. I can't see any reason why he would want to quit right now. He looked worse against Juan Diaz until he, again, took over the fight.
Floyd going forbes sports #1 again on this contract, why in the world would he not sign that?! $250 mil!
And Bernard Hopkins made modern day history by continue, his body could coop and he's still beating champions to this day, being the oldest champion ever! He could've stopped, but he wouldn't be remembered for his biggest achievement.
Roy should have retired after the first Tarver fight, again he should have after the was stopped by Tarver, and he definitely should have after he lost to Johnson.

He has 2 1/2 years to fight 6 fights. If he does stay active, BIG IF, he can fight Spring 2013, Late 2013, Spring 2014, Late 2014, Spring 2015, and Late 2015.
Ali is up there. He should have retired after the third Frazier fight. He definitely should have retired after the third Norton fight, and at the latest it should have been after the Shavers fight.

I think Vitali should retire soon. He used to be much better.
Agree. But for 41 he's pretty damn good.
Ali takes it for me. He should have quit after manilla.
