Drug withdrawal symptoms, it seemed to be a nervous breakdown - he was supposed to be in rehab but Don King got him out for the fight. He shouldn't have been in the ring while withdrawing from crack. Lewis hit him flush several times, he wasn't able to defend himself but still wasn't knocked down.
Nonito Donalre really needs to stop boxing. He has slowed down tremendously, he is losing to fighters, he would’ve put away even five years ago let alone 10 or 15. He took a lot of punishment directly in the face and his last fight and there’s just no reason for him to do that anymore. Obviously, I do not know what his financial situation is, but he really needs to find another way to make a living.
My boy Gabe Rosado, altho he has been fighting bums now. Also, Paulie Malignaggi: This content is protected Yes, he is still fighting. To be fair, Donaire was holding his own at the world level, up to this last fight. The Tsusumi fight could have easily gone to him, and at worst he lost a razor close decision to a legitimate title holder. But yea, its clear now that his day has come. Riku Masuda brutalized him, and its time to hang it up. Or at the very least stop competing at the world level.
Bryant Jennings is set up for a fight. I think his time is gone. Same for Luis Ortiz and Michael Hunter. Unless they get some Saudi money in a Riad Season event, they should retire.
You saw Joshua break dancing on the floor in his last serious fight, right? He took serious damage. He doesn't have the boxing skill to fall back on in old age. To answer the thread: Canelo. He's soaking up attention and returning nothing. Risk averse. Time to go. Basically the same deal as Joshua who wouldn't even fight a Makhmudov level opponent.
Yeah and he's fought a YouTube star and a nobody hoping for that Fury money after. If Fury retired pretty sure Joshua would as well.

No, that's Ennis youre talking about. The 30 year old prospect, finally fighting a decent opponent in his 50th fight. Hell, you can add Tank to that list too. Wilder got sonned once he stepped up, too.
To be fair, McCall is still managing to win comfortably against absolute bums... unlike the likes of Danny Williams who takes more and more brain damage everytime he fights.
His last professional fight was in 2023, but he had a fight on an unlicensed show in an Essex nightclub, in October last year, at 52. He faced 41-year-old former Commonwealth cruiserweight champion Tony Conquest... yep, he was KO'd. Well, actually, the referee stopped the fight while he was on his stool. This guy just cannot let go.
