        I think him retiring has helped boxing.

                More fights at LHW, so they battle out for supremacy.

                Johnson
                Dawson
                Hopkins
                Adrian Diaconu

                Calzaghe was at a stage thinking about RJJ rematch

                    I see, the battle to be the man to beat at LHW. A chance for a worthy fighter to finally stand in the spotlight.

                        No. The sport is bigger than any one individual.

                            I am a fan of Joe and I think he is a great fighter who has achieved a lot in his unbeaten career... but I don't think boxing will be that hurt by his retirement, most people that are proper boxing fans respect his decision.

                            Boxing is a fantastic sport, and we will be getting more and more talent flooding through from different nationalities and ethnic backgrounds... so the Boxing world will definitely keep spinning, and will still keep alive for many years to come.

                            Yeah he is a great fighter and people love to watch him, but he has had his time... it is time for somebody else to come through and have there's which I believe they probably would... so my answer to your question is; Yeah, he will be missed... but Boxing will not be hurt by his departure, because as I said... the world keeps spinning and time comes by... while more and more talent will keep flooding through.

                            Think of it this way, did Boxing die as soon as Ali, Robinson, Leonard, Duran, Tyson, Foreman, Armstrong etc. retired? The answer is no, the world kept on spinning and more and more talent kept flooding through. That's my thought anyway.
