    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Marvin Hagler
    Fernando Vargas (actually he gained money after he retired by investing in parking lots)
    More than likely (about 99%) Oscar De La Hoya
    Michael Spinks
    Felix Trinidad (i think I'm not totally sure about this)

    I'm guessing B-Hop will be part of the group when he retires.

    Is Larry Holmes really wealthy? He was just on BoxingGirl's radio show OnTheRopes and he mentioned trying to pay his rent and doing anything he can to earn money (appearances, signings, speeches, etc.). It sounded like he wouldn't mind an extra buck or two.

    I'll put De La Hoya and Lewis on top of the list.

    DLH = GBP

    As to Lewis . . . this guy should have more than enough to refuse a $30 Mil comeback fight.

    I was just saying on another thread that The Times 'Britain's Rich List 2009' has his fortune at $147m (£90m).....making him the 600th richest person in Britain.

    No way is he coming back.

    No, I'm from Scotland. I've spent a lot of time in England, though.
