Fighters who need to retire

Chilemba fought in March, and as far as I am aware he is still active. He would be well advised to hang them up.

 

Oliver McCall

 

Also to add, Boxrec's 14th ranked active Cruiserweight is.... 55 year old Firat Arslan. Have your own opinions about this one.

 

Canelo for me. He's been visibly declining for a long time.

 

Danny Williams. Guy's brain must be ruined now.

I would say Oliver McCall, but somehow, he's still managing to find bums to knock over at the age of 61.

To be honest, I'd be happy with old-man fights as long as there's a strict rule that they can't fight anyone that's any more than 5 years younger than them. There should be a senior level for older boxers who can't "let go". Imagine the hype that would be created for a Tyson-Holyfield trilogy? Or the Lewis-Bowe match-up we never got.

But I assume you were hoping for slightly less obvious answers haha.

 

I know Chisora's already had his "farewell fight", but I wouldn't be against seeing them two go at it to be fair.

Both have cult hero followings despite never being championship level... you would have tons of people turning up for Allen and the same for Chisora, north vs. south, it would be almost football-like. Chisora's a level above, even this Chisora, but it would be a fun scrap for sure. Not sure if Allen would be up for it though considering he claimed that Chisora hit him harder in sparring than anybody else.

 

He’s just a kid. A prospect

 

Joe Joyce

Despite me being a fan

 

Declining and not at all the sort of fighter that can adjust to losing his youth.
A manufactured fighter who got massive reputation belying his ability. Old Golovkin should have put him in perspective, Crawford thankfully did somewhat.

 

1. Joe Joyce
2. Chisora
3. Dave Allen
4. Canelo
5. Oliver McCall (or anyone over 45)
6. Tyson Fury* (needs to stay gone ffs)
7. Dillian Whyte

*Fury talked about bumps on the back of his head, memory loss and blacking out after the third Wilder fight.

Big stiff idiot that he is, AJ can punch and Tyson has seven kids he might want to be able to have a conversation with, without drooling, at some point.

 

Fury should be studied for being able to abuse his body and having the most laughably weird looking body along with perhaps Andy Ruiz, whilst still remaining competitive

 

IMO he still had something left but Crawford was good. But he is obviously not at his best anymore.

 

McCall still fighting wtf. Had a nervous breakdown in the ring. Should have retired then.


Onnnnly in America.

 

Loser of tszyu vs Spence in finished.
