Heavyweight Boxer Paolo Vidoz won Olympic Bronze in 2000 at Superheavyweight after beating Calvin Brock and Samuel Peter but lost to Audley Harrison.
Vidoz is a pretty good heavy, and is European champ right now. I think he can beat Brock, Audley, and outbox Peter.Comment

Forgive me if somebody else has already pointed this out; but Jim Jeffries also retired with the belt. The difference is he came back 5 years later and lost to Johnson. Also, Ali retired with the belt in 1979; but came back against Holmes a year later.Originally posted by ParodyRocky Marciano, Gene Tunney and Lennox Lewis were the only fighters to retire as Heavyweight champions
So, technically speaking, 5 men retired as champion; but only 3 stayed retired.Comment

When I said retired I meant winning the last fight of the career, Marciano retired undefeated with the World title, Lewis retired after being the undisputed champion and retired as a champion, so did tunney, Ali and Jeffries lost their last fights while Lewis, Marciano and Tunney WON their last fights and then retired as champions, im not talking about a retirement in which you retire and comeback im talking about a permanent one, those guys made a comeback and lost the last fights of their careerOriginally posted by K-DOGGForgive me if somebody else has already pointed this out; but Jim Jeffries also retired with the belt.
