Does anyone realize how easy Cotto swells and bleeds? Provo needs to learn better defense but he's got several good yrs left IMHO

I can't think of a sport where the word 'retirement' means less than boxing

There is none that rival boxing, wrestling is the only thing close to it, and thats not a sport.

****ing floyd worshippers i see here hating on this guy, he is just being true to himself.
Instead of ****ing hating this guy, why not say thank you for giving us boxing fans memorable fights.

Blood, sweat, humility attributes of a true warrior.

Go on and walk away champ, if you feel the need to.

I noticed all 3 of them have something common. They all come from these small quiet hard working villages.

Good losing effort to Bradley, almost beats him, beats Alvarado now wants to retire. I understand if he fought Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr and had decent paydays and wants to retire on that...Bradley and Alvarado?

he got 600k for alvarado, don't know for bradley. in any case, he seems satisfied with the money he already made for life back home. ruslan just won a world title as well, it means a lot for fighters who come from relative obscurity. he is at an all time high right now and like jmm, probably wants to keep that feel.

How much is he getting or possibly getting for being the upcoming main event vs Algeiri???
Ruslan probably has more money right now then his entire village could earn in 3 generations. He's earned the right to retire whenever he feel's like.

This thread proves that peoplewill find a reason to hate on someone. Ruslan makes every fight he is in exciting, he is fearless in the ring, he ducks no one, is very humble, and plans to retire a bit early so he can give back to the area that he came from. Yet people in this thread still don't like the guy? WOW! Not sure what you guys want from him.
