    Fighters that retired in their prime after a loss

    I was thinking about boxers retiring especially lately with the retirements of Margo, SSM, to name a few. Both were warriors and past prime. Then I read about a Ricky Hatton and queen Hammed possibly returning. So I thought those are the only two fighters I can remember that retired in their primes.

    Now the Hammed loss was extremely devastating to him. MAB literally shook him and retired him.

    Who are others that got retired after a loss whilst still in their prime?

          Hamed didn't retire after Barrera, he fought Manuel Calvo afterwards.

            Two boxers who claimed they retired were Mayweather Jr and David Haye. But they then came out of retirement to fight again (Floyd did that a few times)

                    Vargas? He was put up against top tier competition way too early.
