    2012 Retirees

    Who do you think should and/or will retire and not box in 2013?

    Shane Mosley - Should, Won't
    Winky Wright - Should, Will
    Roy Jones Jr - Absolutely Should, Will
    Bernard Hopkins - Shouldn't yet, IMO, but i think he will
    James Toney - Should, Won't
    Evander Holyfield - Should, Will (FINALLY!)
    Glen Johnson - I can argue either way/ will retire
    Kelly Pavlik - Should (because he will be used as an opponent for the rest of his career by Arum) Won't becuase $$

    These are the obvious candidates, feel free to add anyone else you can think of/debate the ones I listed

    About Pavlik though-him being used as an opponent will make him some money and he is fresh compared to the others so he can fight on.Hasn't proven yet to be past it physically just maybe emotionally.

    Anyway some others would be:

    Vivian Harris.God knows what he will do.

    Chop Chop Corley.Won't,guy needs money for his 10-11 children.Everybody knows the story with him adopting his dead brother's children and thus having to fight still.He ain't that bad yet.

    Julio Diaz.Just should.

      Bernard should retire, win or lose, after the Chad fight. He's got NOTHING to prove. Mosley should have retired after the Mayweather beating.

      Pavlik, I'd actually like to see him keep going. Pavlik-Chavez actually interests me.

      Roy should have retired long ago.

        IMO, I'd only want to see him fight if he was going to make a legit run at a world title, preferably at '68

        Oh and if he was to get a new promoter

            Zab is one I forgot to mention. Would probably be better off if he didn't fight again. He had a good career. Sticking around any longer will only help his bank account

              I think Manny and Floyd will only stay 1 more year and both leave in 2013, Roy will probably retire if he gets KOed again.

                Erik Morales, there's nobody else to fight, some (Marquez fight) are not meant to be. hope he comes out on top beating Danny Garcia then call it quits.

                  Marquez could retire this year if he doesn't land a good fight against some elite fighter.
