    Just staying on top, not risking one more fight when they
    would lose what they had, not having much to prove as well.

    recently:

    - Lewis
    - Calzaghe

    Mike Tyson's PRIME was in the 80s.

    He was not PRIME when he fought Williams.

    When Cus died that was bad.

    He should never have fired Rooney.

    Larry Holmes and he actually used his money to develop his own business ventures. Pretty rare for his time.

    Foreman

    - He already got his title and defended it, lost it to Briggs and knew better than to face Lewis. Whats the point anyway he already became linear champ, most likely he gets beaten to a pulp and on the small chance he actually won he wouldnt get as much credit because he already became the champ

    He isnt underrated, he's just unknown by most. Those that know him well enough dont underrate him.

    Mickey Ward, he took a risk giving Gatti the rematch and rubbermatch but it was worth it as he seems to be fine and those last 3 fights had to be way more money than everything else previously in his career. He was smart to retire immediately and not carry on with his new fame, it seems common sense but a lot of boxers would have carried on.
