Greatest fighters to never comeback

Monzon
Spinks
Chandler.

 

In the early 1980s, Floyd actually did belatedly announce his formal retirement, in part to squelch rumors of a comeback sparked by the marathon running he had undertaken. During the mid 1970s he was candid about having an interest in a third confrontation with Ali after Muhammad regained the title, but speculation about Patterson-Ingo III continued even after Ali's decline, with both Floyd and Ingo competing in distance events. (Ingo actually started running marathons first, but when Floyd also took up the hobby he kicked Ingo's ass again. Patterson was never going to compete with Johansson in rowing events though.)

 

I think that guys that retired on top and didn't come back should be counted higher then guys who quit when on the decline...I'd rank tunney marcano higher then a spinks.

 

Lennox Lewis retired and I am sure offers followed.

 

Why?

 

well i mean..if a guy loses fights..and then retires...is it really that big of a shock that he doesnt come back? I am sure we can find plenty of guys who lost some big fights...had a career more or less uninterupted..and then retired. Guys like Marciano, Tunney, even Calazaghe, who went out on top (maybe slipping a bit...but not having lost) and then dont come back either...too me..is just much more impressive...then say Kosta Tszyu getting a ass kicking by hatton, or spinks getting his brain raped by tyson..and then suprise suprise not coming back....but hey thats just me
