    Started off strong, won titles and retired on top?

    Sadly, I think it's the fall from grace that almost invariably "completes" a fighter's career. Anyone who's ever retired on top has left unanswered questions.

    Foreman is a good call. Left nothing in the tank. Virtually 2 careers in 1.

    Well yeah, but Foreman shut it down in his prime and came back a decade later as an old fat guy. A complete career should include a prime, no?

    I can only think of 7 guys

    Rocky Marciano
    Lennox
    George Foreman
    Joe Calzaghe
    Floyd(if he wins out)
    Marvin Hagler
    Gene Tunney
    Marquez (If he retires today)
