    How many Boxing Champions had initially retired undefeated? Whether or not if they had an ill advised comeback.

    As near as I can determine, Bantamweight Champion Jimmy Carruthers may have been the first to retire with an unblemished record, bowing out at 19 (11)-0-0 in 1954.

    Yes, after the second Arguello fight. Both fighters retired. Pryor soon came back.
