    If the Fury fight was a sign of father time catching up to K-Bro then I must say Joshua will demolish him. Just like Hopkins, he will end on his back.

      So we saw how BHop career ended. It was somewhat of a fitting end to his career.

      Mosley lost a wide 12 round decision to Avanesyan; a boxer who Mosley would have destroyed in his prime.

      Floyd Mayweather- won a safe and uneventful dominating win over Berto.

      So how will it end for the following legends? The old warriors are now retiring or soon to be.

      Miguel Cotto
      Juan Manuel Marquez
      Manny Pacquiao
      Klitschko
      Roy Jones Jr.


      Will there be a great ending for any of these guys?
      Cotto - carefully; Cotto, being a man about his business, is going to position himself for the biggest possible fights he can, on terms that are good for him.

      JMM - he's already done; with that knee being what it is, Marquez already having been out of the ring for over two years, and already being 43, I doubt that Marquez gets the opportunity that he's looked for. On top of that, he's been careful with his money anyway.

      Pacquiao - out on his back; Pacquiao is so wreckless with his finances, that he'll likely fight until folks stop seeing it being worth anything to see him fight. Top Rank will use what's left of Pacquiao's name to hopefully launch their next star (Crawford and Lomachenko, at the least, both get fed Pacquiao)

      -Wladimir - not sure; if the Joshua fight goes as I expect (Joshua blasting out Klitschko in dominant fashion within 5 rounds), Klitschko walks away and goes to be with his family. If Klitschko loses in a competitive fight, he could still head back to Germany, fight tickover fights for as long as he wants and still make money (think Felix Sturm or Arthur Abraham).

      -RJJ - happy; Roy seems to know what's what. He'll continue to take on these club-level fights for as long as he wants to keep fighting.

        Cotto - If Kirkland has any juice left in the tank and if he can make the 153 catchweight comfortably/without hurting or draining himself, I think he can KO Cotto into retirement.

        Marquez - Waiting for Pac V, other big name fight or just retires.

        Pacquiao - Top Rank will milk Manny as much as they can until the brakes start to fall off.

        Klit - If he goes the distance with AJ, Klit will continue his career. But if he doesn't, then he retires.

        Jones Jr - Roy's sobbing cuz his rubber match with Hopkins went down the drain.
