    Fighters who should retire

    Roy , James Toney. who else?

    i hate to see fighters go on longer than they should. its important to have a good team around you who tell you when you are getting too old in training.

    roy jones surely makes enough money commentating and james toney could work in a gym. his stature alone will have fighters wanting to seek advice. he isn't the most coherent of guys right now but as the saying goes "i can show you better than i can tell you"

    when posters read headline saying lebedev-jones but it wasnt roy jones:

    Now it isn't, I feel better about life.

    Marquez
    Enzo Maccrinelli
    Shannon Briggs
    Erik Morales
    Zab Judah (He just doesn't have the heart)
    Victor Ortiz (This boy is just disgracing the sport with his half as$ed efforts)
    Deontay Wilder (Because next time he lands a left hook followed by a straight right to the gloves he may kill someone)
    Froch (If he loses to Groves)

      Andre Ward - he's one of the greats with a HOF resume (he won the supah 6 FFS!). What else does he have left to do?

          People are going to get mad but Floyd should hang it up and I am looking forward to it. He doesnt fight the best fighters available. Boxing will be better once hes gone so the next number 1 p4p fighter can fight the best fighters in the world and fight the fights fans want to see. There is no way Floyd's 24/7's should more exciting then his actual fights.

            I think Floyd will still be active 5 years from now. He'll fit a retirement or two in but he'll be back.

              When it comes to boxing, he listens to his dad. His dad told him to stay clear of pacquaio. And his dad has also said he doesn't want Floyd fighting beyond his contract.

                Marquez should retire after alvarado before he gets demolished by up and comers, I also think he's in a dangerous fight versus mike, I think he's right about not fighting manny anymore, he can risk that feeling

                Maidana, well he said it himself, he might retire cos after that night, him and his family is set up for life

                o. Solis, well, he's fat and disappointing

                  His Dad's not going to be able to give him $20m whenever he feels he needs it.

                    Al haymon will make sure he doesn't blow hundreds of millions of dollars.
