    Hey Guys who are some fighters that In your view is shot or should consider retirement Under 35 (this is for fun we all know the obvious ones like Holyfield, Toney RJJ etc)

    Names that come to mind:
    Ortiz (His lack of passion is scared dude is a gatekeeper at this point its a shame had had alot of potential)
    Berto (starts swelling after 2 rounds bad lateral movement somewhat flat footed)
    Cloud (Never was sold on him even before yesterday power if overrated looks like Lacy 2.0 at this point)
    Lopez (I think Salido took alot out of him he has been scared bad)
    Mitchell (He cant really take a punch and unlike someone like Khan he does not have the skillset to make up for it)

    That said any others that come to mind

    Miguel Acosta just turned 35 in April but already had a fork stuck deep in him, since he was 32 and ten months...

    Yeah, if we're including past examples of guys whose candle wicks got burned up long before 35, both of them are good examples as well as perhaps the ultimate young burn-out, Fernando Vargas. :good Ruined by his mid twenties.

    Daniel Geale should just give it away, he has zero chance of winning another world title. The guy blows.

    Fighters that should retire now:
    Abraham
    Sturm
    Khan
    Loser of Pacquiao/Rios
    Kessler
    Dirrell
    Soto
    Enzo
    Kono
    Juanma
    Cotto
    ...so many more I'm sure.

    Fighters that should have an exit plan for the near future (as in cash out, go out on own terms, and/or make one last little run):
    Hasegawa
    John
    Malignaggi
    Bute
    Viloria
    Nashiro
    Agbeko
    Helenius
    Marco Antonio Rubio
    Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
    Guerrero
    Berto
    Ortiz

    I will say that I am always in favor of early retirement as opposed to late.

    Well Kessler and Cotto could beat a lot of their contemporaries at the weight too but that doesn't mean they shouldn't retire for various reasons.

    Chavez Jr. can milk a safe exit plan but needs to realize with his skill and the way he fights combined with how much money he's raked in, leaving with health is the best option.

    Bute still has only really taken punishment in three or so of his fights. He too is vulnerable but also like a celeb in Canada in terms of earning power so going back to Quebec and making another short reign against soft punchers before a final unification would be ideal in my eyes for him as opposed to jumping up to 175 for Pascal.

    Dirrell, on the other hand, has absolutely nothing going for him to go along with him having serious physical OR mental head issues.
