    Fat and old Lewis stops Vitali in 6 and retires aged 38.

    Calzaghe beats the man at LHW with most people agreeing he won. Then fights again for another payday and after years of chronic hand problems retires age 37 not wanting to fight on like RJJ and ruining his legacy after proving everything he could. Had nothing to be scared of from a fighter who had to fake lowblows to survive

    TS is a moron and thread is ******ed. Seems most people only seem happy if a boxer has lost

    If you're upset Hagler lost to a coked up, one-eyed welterweight that had fought all of one time in the previous five years and never before at Middleweight, then you need to contact the authorities. There's no credit to be issued for taking down the P4P No. 1 at the time. Not my problem, pal. :hi:

    Leonard was scared of fighting somebody with a chance to win.

    Duran should be dropped about 20 spots on the account of Leonard not being all that good.

    So if Roy Jones retired after the Calzaghe fight, it would have been an "early" retirement?

    Few took Roy Jones' career seriously anymore even before the Calzaghe fight happened. Lennox was still the top heavyweight in the world who surprised everyone with his hasty early retirement, but Mama said, so...
