Which one of these fighters need to retire for good? Jermaine Taylor after his painful KO's. Roy Jones to secure whats left of his legacy and stop the KO's. James Toney who's gotten back in shape, but hasn't been very active. Antonio Tarver who backed down from a possible HW bout with Toney and lost to Bad Chad twice.
Toney or Tarver neither has done much in a while and neither will do anymore than they already have in their amazing careers.
To me Jones can still win good fights like Lacy and still do some of what he is capable of and Taylor was doing ok agaisnt Abraham when he was sticking to the plan and was beating Froch pretty good for a good portion of that fight too.
I was gonna say Taylor because I think he's taking to many shots, but I have to say Jones simply because even if he can still fight well, he has very little to gain and a whole lot to risk at this point. If somehow in hell beats Hopkins I pray he'll retire, if he gets KO'd I hope they revoke his license.
Jones. Love what he's done but one more bad shot and the guy's going to be in a bad way. (worse than he is already) Has anyone heard if the BHop fight will definetly be his last? Because to be honest it wouldn't surprise me if the guy fought on afterwards.:-(
Out of those choices, Jones and Toney are tied. But in terms of the big names still fighting, Holyfield is the most shot fighter right now.
