Great career. Probably the most disrespected fighter to come from the UK. His run to undisputed was brilliant. Then the fans seemed to turn on him after the judges awarded him the catterall decision

GOOD decision...it's better to bow out now than jeopardise your health for meaningless fights. After all, he's 34yo and on a 4 fight losing streak so was never going to fight for world titles again. However, having become undisputed champion, he achieved more in his career than 99% of pro boxer's ever will so can hold his head high.

Quality fighter at his best and achieved a lot in the sport. I think after he won everything though he kind of mentally checked out with the sport also the injury’s he’s had aswell. Right the decision, he’s probably made a good bit of money and he’s still quite young so might aswell enjoy his life

Also probably the most disrespectful because he had zero respect for his opponents

That’s why he lost 4 fights in a row he was good for a while

Your decision to retire passes the eye test. Sorry. Had to.

He could see the writing on the wall....but only barely.

he wasnt bad i guess for a while bit of an ugly style and chip on the shoulder bread was right about him he needed to be at max effectiveness and effort to get his results and when he fell off a bit his results plummeted
