    No. First he needs to fight Bivol again so that we can have another laugh. Then he can retire.

    I think the end of 2025, it will be 20 years as a pro for him, I think he should no later than next year and 3 more fights (this sept, next may and next sept)

    If he's not going to fight Benavidez, he should take a couple more fights and retire at 34.

    What's so funny about a fighter moving up in weight to challenge himself?

    He should be commended for that, not laughed at.

    Legacy? He ducks too much to be fighting for legacy. He had avoided his major threats, and been given gift decisions. He claims to be the king but fights the easiest opponents.

    His supporters will argue for his greatness after he retires but DDD is nowhere near the level his fans claim.

    Ducks Drugs Decisions

    I'm pretty sure the proof is the suspension buddy. If his name had been cleared there wouldn't have been a suspension.

    He was wrongly suspended by the CSAC because they SUSPECTED he MAY have tried to mess with his wraps. They ruined a good fighters career & tarnished his name but did not have any proof to present The one the State commission should have suspended was their cash cow Floyd for what he was caught red handed CHEATING 24 hours before a world title fight with Manny Pacquaio & we all know why he was cheating don't we ?????????????? What beats me is you claim to love the sport but support a PROVEN cheat End of Story

    Although he is only 33 years old, Canelo's career has already lasted 19 years (Lenox Lewis' career lasted 14 years).
    I don't think Canelo should retire yet, but he should (like Marciano) feel when the time is right to retire.
