When is it time to retire from boxing?

If you're Floyd Mayweather, every few months or so.

If you're anyone else, once you start feeling like Freddie Roach.

That probably has a lot to do with it. He seemed well in interviews before the car accident.

There is no certain age that a fighter should retire but generally boxers begin to decline in their 30's.

I agree with a coupld posters on this one, but ultimately it seems like you should retire when you just don't feel like fighting anymore.

You can box professionally until the day you die, the paychecks just get smaller.

Look at Roberto Duran. He still does a ton of promotional fights and he is like a gajillion years old. Obviously they aren't "real" matches but he does them because he loves boxing, he loves the sport. Maybe you should retire from the top levels of boxing once you can't compete, but you dont have to retire from boxing until the day you die.
