Ruined mentally, might as well be ruined physically.

Roy Jones Jr

Really? He seemed fine after his first loss and even came back to knock the guy out in the first round when they fought again.

Hameds prime was 95-97.

There was nothing wrong with Hamed, he took very little punishment during his career and by the time, and even before, he fought Barrera he was hardly training, except to make sure of his weight. It was obvious he was only having fun in the ring, playing around, not taking it seriously. Hamed in shape, and at his best was better than Barrera by a fair bit. Even with all his messing around in their fight he didn't lose by much. You could see he didn't care.

He said in an interview the real reason he retired was because of his hand.
His hand had broken and healed but was fragile to a point where if it broke again with how hard he hits it could do irrepairable damage and decided it was better to retire than keep fighting unable to use his full potential.

James Toney, even though he had a comeback like 10 years later it was short lived.
