There was a British Middleweight fighter who was a prospect but he has retired already. His name is Andy Lee.
Boxing is brutal and tiresome. All the hard work, politics, financials... To choose a steady job which he likes seems like a no brainer.
Matvey Korobov. Absolute travesty to see his career go down the pan. After the Lee loss, no one wants to fight him. High risk low reward - yet he is certainly one of the best middleweights and had he been active wouldve been a huge asset to an already deep division. Such a shame to see so much talent go to waste.

Check out the score Vanes ''The Nightmare'' Martin Ross Ian beat him by. No one whooped him like Vanes. Estrada is 2-2 against Daddy Jacobs, and he also beat Olympic gold medalist and current WBA reg champ Murata.
There was a talented Super Bantamweight from the Kronk Gym named Jemal Hinton, I wondered what ever happened to him, so I looked him up, turns out he retired from Boxing for religious reasons.
