Comments Thread For: Denis Lebedev Makes Decision To Retire From Boxing

Great fighter very solid, I didn't enjoy watching him almost kill Jones though. Jones was winning that fight too.

[Chrismart]

The right decision, he had a good career.
He was in some great fights, I always looked forward to watching him.

[MusoMeanderings]

Good decision.
The only thing I can not forgive him for is taking foot off the gas in Huck fight. He thought he was winning, but come on, you're fighting vs. a local champion in Germany!

Bums don't spark out Roy Jones Jr. and damn near kill him in the ring.

Old Roy is not a prime Roy. This was not a big deal.

Excuses. If I recall, Lebedev was getting outboxed by that "old" Roy before he got caught.

And if you're going to go there, then Manny Pacquiao's biggest win in Oscar De La Hoya is meaningless for the same reason. Right?

We need to stop being dismissive of legends due to age. And we need to stop discrediting wins over those legends.

Calslappy's win over Eubank,
Smith's win over Hopkins,
Holmes' win over Ali,
Horn's win over Manny,
Horn's win over Mundine,
Horn's win over Bailey,
Chavez's win over Leonard, Lebedev/Macarinelli/Green/Johnson's win over Jones, etc.

All signature wins worth the credit.
