    It's about time.

    Sharmba had a good career. It's time to enjoy life away from the ring.

        He needs to get out of 147 immediately. Right now that is where the top talent in boxing lies. He might (big might) do damage at 140, but 135 is where he needs to go.

            oh well then he can either retire, or serve as a stepping stone for Demetrius Hopkins.

                Sharmba is not an elite level but more than anything,hes taken bad matchups,in his last fights hes been stopped 3 times,but those stoppages have been to Tszyu,Mayweather,and now Williams.

                He could probably fight and beat,decent b-level comp on FNF and the like for a while,if hes really thinking about retiring,Id hate for him to go out on that Williams fight,he actually looked kinda sharp,but outsized and outgunned, he should take one more fight against a decent guy just to go out on a win if hes serious.

                    I agree with you here, he did look good but was matched up very badly. I would like to see him move back down to jrWW which I believe is a more natural weight for him. The current 147lb division is to tough for someone who is past there prime and in a weight class 2 divisions up from where he won his first belt.
