    but he couldn`t resist the money/fame. What would you do in his situation? BHOP at 40 was still a beast coming off the controversial loss against Taylor with million dollar fights in the future (Tarver,Pavlik, Calzaghe) but was already regarded as one of the best MW of all time with a secured place in the HOF. Do you go for the money/fame or you stay with what you promised your Mom before she died?

    He promised his mother to make her happy.

    When she passed, he kept fighting to make himself happy.

    Can't hate on a man for that.

    He did a good thing, his mum died believing that, now he is fighting for himself.

    He probably figures she would have been OK with it given how dominant he still was.

    He figured that someone would be able to whip his ass and finish him by the time he was 40.

    Still hasn't happened.

    Yeah, he just quits and aims for no contests and disqualifications. What a proud old school warrior.
