Boxers who retired at the right time and finished career on top? Those who didnt.

Leotis Martin ended his career by knocking out Sonny Liston.

Granted, it was because Liston's jab had detached Leotis' retina, but that's a badass way to end a career.

 

Duk Koo Kim

 

Jones is the perfect example of stuck around too long.

Toney I'm not even going to go there cause its just part of the guys DNA.

Jack Johnson should have saved his money and got out long before he did.

Sugar Ray Robinson stuck around way to long and got the pugilistic dementia to prove it.

Ali we all know was in the game years after he should have retired. Shame on his team and the doctors that let him keep fighting even after he was failing pre-fight physical exams.

Shane Mosely has stuck around way too long. I blame his shitty taste in smoking hot bitches for that one.

 

You have got to be ****ing kidding meatsch

 

Most people? You mean the few Klittard chimps that rocks around on branches? Those people?

99% OF Boxing writers and pundits got Lewis ranked as a top 5-10 ATG Heavyweight. Most in the top 5.

The worst,fattest,oldest,slowest,most pathetic, version of Lewis was on his way to knocking PRIME Vitali the **** out of this universe. The doctors saved Prime Vitali's life, you ****ing moronic puta.


If there had been a round 7,

Today Vitali won't be known as Vitali Klithscko, politician and champion.


If there had been a round 7

Vitali will be known today as that 'tall one eyed ****** who carries Wladimir's bags around'

 

Lewis, hagler, marciano,

 

Lewis and Calzaghe spring to mind.

Holyfield and Jones Jr have both gone on way too long.

 

Arce needs to hangem up.
Matched right Rafa can still hang.
Hopkins should of retired after Pascal fights.
Rj, Holy, Toney no doubt don't belong in the world stage they might get killed.
Erik is the biggest surprise reflexes gone, but beats Maidana and Garcia to a pulp before losing by close margins. He needs a top notch nutritionist take that flab away.

 

:-( Tasteless.

 

Most people do but it seems like there are stil a few misguided confused souls who live denial

 

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

He retired at the right time because if he didn't he would have had to fight Cotto or Margarito .

 

Yeah, it's hard to retire at the "best time." You retire because you are shot and on a losing streak. And if you retire as a top fighter, it means you are ducking young contenders according to your critics.

I believe Calzaghe retired at the right time. He was 35 at the end of his career. Nothing wrong with that. He was not obligated to "pass the torch" to anyone.

 

Danny Williams is playing out the final act of a bitter tragedy

RJJ like wise

 

Ricardo Lopez
Carlos Monzon
Kostya Tszyu (he wasn't "on top" but he knew when to walk away and not return)
Gene Tunney
Michael Spinks (once again not "on top" but perfect timing)

-James Jeffries' timing was perfect had he never made the comeback.
-Joe Louis' timing was perfect had he never made the comeback.
-Leonard should have retired for good after Lalonde or Duran III.
-Ivan Calderon should have retired after the first epic Segura defeat.
-Lennox Lewis, to me, would have a much clearer and respected legacy had he rematched Vitali, win or lose decisively.

 

Watching him last week against Hammer was just sad.
