Its probably for the best. If you don't have the hunger for the sport then better get out before you are fed to younger and hungrier fighters. 160 is a very tough division now. Andy Lee would have problems.

Seems humble and smart move if no hunger but I wont miss him.. his last fight was horrendous.. still remember the crowd booing halfway through because neither were throwing for like 25 seconds hahah

I hope Andy has a good retirement he earned it he never was an elite and Elite but he always gave his all and he gave fans some good Thrills to remember him by...

I still can't believe he lost to Chavez Jr. That says a lot about his career.

It says a lot about his career that he lost a competitive fight to a younger stronger dude who was a massive weight bully at 160 with an iron chin? He outweighed Lee by like 15lbs in the ring. Andy wasn’t a real slick fighter, but he was a southpaw with a world class eraser for a right hook. Andy Lee wasn’t elite but he wasn’t a bum.

Well, if he's been thinking about retiring, it is a good move. You can't expect to be at the top of your game with the mindset of retirement.
