    Should Shane Mosley retire?

    I think so. The guy has a lot of great wins but is clearly past his 'second prime' and looked shot in his last outing. Why box on? What else does he have to prove? I think he's managed his money responsibly so continuing to fight is not a financial consideration. Why temp fate and risk getting brain damaged? I say walk away now and enjoy the rest of your life...

      I think he should retire. He has had a great career, but he looked completely shot in the Mayweather fight.

          Dont retire, he has some great fights left in him, just had a bad night, cmon he lost to the best in the world but can still teach some of these young guys a lesson or two.

              Why cause he got beat up by Floyd? He is old, but he can still beat some other fighters in the Welterweight division. Why retire now if he can still make some money?

                  He should retire, Im wondering if his win over Margarito was just a fluke at this point. He got lucky for one last big fight and he should retire now. Unless he can get a shot at Berto or someone easy like that for one last fight.

                      agreed. He's done making any meaningful noise ...

                          Because his reflexes are not what they once were, because if he engages in one more 'war' he could suffer brain damage. Even now, when he gives interviews he seems kind of 'slow.'

                              hell no, why should he? even some of his peers still refuse to fight him. I say he still has a couple fights left in him

                                  No, he doesn't need to retire. He's not getting KTFO or anything yet.

                                      He should retire. There is nothing left to prove. He even fought his long time rival. (Miyata-Ippo style)

                                      He should just retire. At this point, I honestly can't see him winning another fight against grade A opponents. Not after what Mayweather did to him.
