Boxers always think they're being smart when they say they'll retire at 28 or 30, it's their way of saying 'I will get what I want out of the game' and won't end up a punch drunk old fool like some boxers we see. The truth is though, most get used to the big paydays and need boxing to fund their new-found spending habits and end up fighting well into their 30s and even 40s.
The really smart ones are those that don't throw their money around and are no longer reliant on the sport for income. Whether the likes of Khan, Cotto and Haye fall into that bracket remains to be seen.
