    Pac should retire. He's had a great career.

    Fighters tend to take more punishment at the end of their careers than when they are in their prime.

    They no longer have the same reflexes and legs. They get hit with shots they wouldn't of have earlier in their career.

    Think Ali, Roy Jones and many others. Even Kovalev who now gets clipped in every fight.

    I hate to see that happen to Manny. He should retire. Nobody beats father time.

    Yes he can still beat some guys but only with greater and greater chances of taking punishment and getting "old" mid fight.

    I'd hate to see the guy turn into a mush brain.

    Kovalev should retire as well. Boxing is a young man's game. Every fighter has a limited shelf life.

    Will anyone care if Junior retires? Reminds me of the saying about a tree falling in the woods.

    I wouldn’t consider anyone of these guys retired. I’d just view it more that they went away.

    If Spence can't make a full recovery, I hope he has the sense to do something else.

    Been thinking about the fights I saw in 2019. There were many times I thought to my self "this guy needs to find another job".
    Usually older Mexican boxers; dang they hold on for too long.

    I think I am speaking for many when I say JCChavez Jr should fall in the woods. With everyone watching so we know it happened.

    I’d like that too. However, with his name and the greed that infests the sport, I’m sure we’ll see him in the ring again, complete with a series of prefight interviews and articles where he professes to be motivated and wiser for all his previous mistakes.

    He may not be the "best" fighter of the decade but he is one of the most popular. He did much to increase the popularity of boxing in Asia I think.

    Once again, he made his mark on the sport and was good for that sport.

    I'm not one of those super biased Pac fanboys but credit where credit it due. Pac had a great career, some great years and was good for the sport.

    Him being the 'best" boxer of his era though is highly debatable. I would not try to argue that.

    This is a good one. This guy should definitely retire. I expect him to be back though when the money he needs to sustain his lifestyle runs out.

    Not just to fund his lifestyle, but Daddy’s too.

    True. Daddy developed some bad habits along the way.

    Maybe they should turn to professional wrestling instead of boxing.
