                If he retired now, hes an all time great in most peoples minds. Could he have been greater had he kept himself in shape? Yes. Is he still a great fighter reguardless? Yes.

                  The fact that he was a MIDDLEWEIGHT and is even fighting guys at 240lbs and schooling them speaks to his talent.

                    That says it all...Hes 5'8 and started his career at middleweight and hes fighting guys 6'3, 257 pounds. You have to be great to do that.

                      This is just silly now what he does from this point on is not really going to hurt him . He is what 38 and is an all time great no matter what happens from this point on, it only makes him better .
