    Name 2 world champions, recognized by BoxRec, who both retired after meeting each other in their last fight.

    (PS: More than one correct answer)

    Fenech-Nelson is of course correct... and Jones-Hopkins may turn out to be as well.

    (and those are not the only correct answers to this question)

    Al Ettore and Maxie Rosenbloom.

    Actually, was Ettore ever a world champ?

    I can almost gurantee you Hopkins will fight again. He may even do something silly and fight at HW.

    Yep!

    I don't know, if there are more - but that's all I have.

    I know Juan LaPorte & Billy Costello very well. LaPorte comes to the Ring 8 meetings once in a while and Costello is a boxing judge in New York.

    I was moved, when I read LaPorte was awarded two belts for his sole championship!
