    i don't buy the retirement gig of floyd, oscar i think he's just probably saying its his last but once theres oppurtunity for big money these guys are not that past it and they would be back in a flash once they smell the green

    toney, should have been long retired

    hopkins definitely sould retire

    jones and tito definitely too...

    Happy to see Oscar go? As in happy to see him go now before he starts looking like an old man? Or just happy to see him go?

    Oscar's time is just about up the way I see it but he's been a legend for over a decade now and I'll be sad to see him no longer in the ring

    They're not really all retiring this year. Maybe, just maybe Calzaghe, but not the other two.

    Boxing fans are very gullible.
