    I agree with a lot of the names, but for those that are saying Shane should retire I disagree. At 147 Shane is still dangerous and I feel he could still compete with a lot of those on top in that weight class. I think the fight with Berto should still be made:D

    Just found this of last year, I agree with all my picks still and I'm surprised that not one has officially retired yet.

    Out of all of mine the only one who has done anything worth while is El Terrible, I don't mind him having another fight next year as a big pay-off but i still hope he retires before he takes a beat down by one of the young guns like Khan.

    Hopkins as well, he did well this year except for the dawson fight, once that turns into a nc in the long run it will be looked back at as a good year.
    I still stick to my opinion though, barrera, holy and the old heavies, roy jones, mosley need to retire.
    We can add calderon to the list as well.
    I want to see hopkins go out on a win but it would be good if he hangs them up in 2012, same with morales, I say fight demarco at 135 then marquez at 140 then both him and marquez can retire in 2012 with great careers regardless of the outcome.

    All of your 10 plus Winky Wright and most of the useless heavyweight division. Also most fighters over 40 have no place in a boxing ring.

    Pac, Floyd, RJJ, Holyfield, Mosley, Enzo Mac, Danny Williams, Tua, Ortiz, MAB.

    As it is I bet at least half of these guys get massive pay days in 2012. And fair play to be honest.

    Pac/Floyd are not going to fight each other so I think they are just gonna take meanless fights. I do not want to see another B Grade fighter like Ortiz hyped up just cause he is fighting Pac/Floyd.

    William, Holyfield, Enzo, Jones cause they could get hurt.

    MAB and Mosley cause they are embarassing themsleves.

    Ortiz cause he is ****

    Great champions of the past or guys who could legitimately end up permanently damaged.

    Holyfield
    Jones Jr.
    Morales -- the guy was complaining of ringing in his ears two years ago
    Mosley
    MAB
    Calderon
    Enzo Mac
    Katsidis -- love the guy, but he's setting himself up for years of abuse
    Rahman
    McCall

    Right on the cusp are my two favorite active fighters: Miguel Cotto and JMM. Both have had tremendous careers and get to face their biggest rivals at the end of 2011. That's a great way to sail into a well deserved retirement .

    shane mosley, holyfield, roy jones, glen johnson, paul williams, mab, morales, maybe marquez depending how well he does against pac, pac and floyd if they don't fight each other, zab judah he's nothing more than a gatekeeper at this point.
