Dave Tiberi.

Retired after his win(

) over James Toney...

lennox lewis retired as champ, he knows he had to do that because his best days were behind him, that klitorous got close to beating him so he knew it was time to hang up his gloves, and for that he gets my respect

i believe that if holyfield wins a title, he will think he has also retired at his best lol

tikal you are totally correct about Marciano the best model for this thread retiring unbeaten (49-0) and undisputed heavy weight champion of the world....

It's rare, but it does happen. Rocky Marciano and Gene Tunney come to mind.
