boxers who finished their career right on time

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.

 

Ricardo Lopez

 

86

 

Rocky Marciano.

 

Its funny how underrated finito is in this board.

 

Marvin Hagler

Carlos Monzon

 

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

 

marciano,hagler,floyd first "retirement",valero,monzon.

 

dude ended up getting ko'd by tyson and fighting butterbean who droped him. thats not ending your carreer perfectly

 

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

 

I agree.

 

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

 

Holyfield

 

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.
