    The obvious ones: Toney, Holyfield and RJJ ( even though he looked better against Lebedev than Toney)

    It's their life, and they have a right to make a living.

    Before Toney-Lebedev I thought the same, I even thought Holyfield should get a last chance for a title and fight Povetkin. But after I this fight I just want them to retire they need to be protected from themselves

    There should be forced retirement for the sake of a fighters health. The only problem is that you would be infringing on their rights. There should be a battery of test these guys have to go through before they are allowed to fight. It's obvious some of these guys are suffering neurological issues. JT had no balance.

    I'd like to see the following boxers retire over the next year:

    Evander Holyfield
    James Toney
    Roy Jones Jnr
    Bernard Hopkins
    Michael Katsidis
    Jason Booth
    Audley Harrison
    Matt Skelton
    Danny Williams
    Shane Mosley
    Ivan Calderon
    Shannon Briggs
    Enzo Macaronelli
    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Erik Morales
    Jean Marc Mormeck
    David Tua
    Hasim Rahman
    Oliver McCall
    Giacobbe Fragomeni
    terry Dunston
    William Joppy
    Jeff Lacy
    Luis Ramon Campas - get the 100 win though
    Carlos Baldomir
    Alfonso Gomez
    Ricardo Mayorga
    Zab Judah
    Junior Witter
    Jose Luis Castillo
    Joel Casamayor
    Nate Campbell
    Rocky Juarez
    Steve Molitor


    Obviuosly I can't knock them for taking paydays and as grown men its up to them to choose when to hang em up but personally I dont want to see these in the ring in 2013 or after. Theres a few in their who could move down a level and still be competent but I mainly made this based on the level they are currently boxing at.

    I agree.Why should Glen Johnson needs to retire.He is in great shape and he boxed 12 rounds with champion of the world.What about fighters who goes to the fight with former olimpic champions for 300$ because they need great score before they step to the another level.They are in more dangerous position than this aging fighters.They are training two times a week and than have fight with future boxing champion who train 2 time daily.
