When should a boxer retire?

[Weebler I]

After that one fight that shows they've slipped, the only way is down from there.

I've always thought a fighter should retire after their 1st loss.

That's a little bit extreme, especially coming from a UFC fan.

MMA is a completely different sport than boxing.

It is. You said a "fighter" not a "boxer".

[El Angel]

Depends on the fighter. Some lose the physical and athletic gifts sooner, others lose the hunger and drive. To the degree you lose them and your ability to improve other aspects of your repertoire to compensate for their loss.

When he's punch drunk and piss nothing but blood.

[f15bone]

Who knows...there's a million variables that come into play...personal, physical, financial considerations are just a few...i would say it basically is a personal choice...

When he get blown out by a guy he would have destroyed a fight or 2 ago (martinez/cotto)(jcc sr/odlh)
Brutally k.od on back to back fights (juanma,vasquez,arce,r.marquez)
When you are 3 weight classes above your prime (morales ,jlc )
Like said earlier you know the punch the timing to hit some one but your reflexes are shot

When he is a poosy like FMJ or a inactive commentator like Andre Son Ofa Goat Ward
