Just Retire

Mercer-its getting embaressing
Hopkins-youve done everything you can,if you keep fighting sooner then later youll either A)Get embaressed,or B)Be forced to keep reducing the quality of your oponents
Mesi-Great record,but the health issues are all the excuse anyone needs to dodge you until the end of time
Holyfield-your no longer the real deal,your real done
Ruiz-please dear lord I beseech you to make this come to pass,before Don King finds another way to gift him the title again
Calzaghe-just for the endless hours of entertainment it would provide watching the Pro/Anti forces sniping at each other about him suddenly retiring withought fighting Kessler ;D

I agree with you with Hopkins he is only damaging himself has nothing to prove but, it must be so hard to retie after the preformance with Tarver.

I still want him to try for a heavyweight title shot.

IMO a win for Hopkins against Wright only RAISES his place in history, and i mean he's still extremely competitive in every fight and that's amazing givin his age, i think that right now there is no one that can embarass him, he'll give anyone problems, and well IMO Vargas needs to stick true to his word and well retire win, lose, or draw after the Mayorga fight, Morales (as huuuuuge of a fan as i am of his) should retire after his next fight

if that happened - 2months later half of this board would of commited suicide.

JAMES TONEY - being busted for roids TWICE and never really doing anything as a heavyweight and being way to big to move to cruiser again.....plus he's had over 70 fights

Jose Luis Castillo needs to retire but he needs to fight just as much as he needs to retire which is very sad....Tyson-esque really

Verno Phillips? He hasnt shown any signs of slowing yet. Id love to see him get a big money fight before he retires. The man really deserves it, but he probably wont get it.

Toney as although still the most talented of the heavies, cant be doing him any good literally rolling into the ring each time he fights!

Riddick Bowe has is resuming his comeback and is scheduled to fight in August!!

ODLH
James Toney
JLC
Briggs
RJJ
Ike
Vargas
Zab
Sharmba
Morales
Kevin Kelley -- You know you need to retire when you get KO'ed by B-Pac. :(

Valuev might as well retire too because since he's lost his 0, he has absolutely no importance to the boxing world what so ever.

Kevin Kelley -- You know you need to retire when you get KO'ed by B-Pac. :(

hell ya i forgot about kevin kelley cc

why does DLH have to retire, he just gave the #1 P4P fighter in the world all he could handle and lost only by SD, and in many peoples eyes won the fight, so he's more than capable of holding his own and racking up a few more significant wins on his record

Mercer...agreed 100%.

Hopkins...disagree. If you get past Wright...beat Jones & fight Calzaghe.

Mesi...agreed 100%.

Holyfield...agreed 100%.

Ruiz-disagree. There are some beatdowns that I would love to see Ruiz take...mainly against Vitali. That would be a great tuner for Vit tha Klit.

Calzaghe...totally disagree. Fight Kessler, Taylor, Hopkins, Mundine, Pavlik, Jones, the list goes on & on. Joe's a diamond in the ruff...or better
yet a diamond that's been dropped in high grass waiting to be found. Many still condemn the man without seeing his best. There's a lot more to Joe than meets the eye.

Tito should stay retired.
RJJ should consider retirement
But yet they may face each other.......

Hopkins thinks he can do to Wright what he did to Tarver. But Wright always had a more solid gameplan than Tarver. Tarver won his fights with talent and speed and usually adjusted in fights and fought according to how the other guys did. Just a good fighter. But Wright is better and more set in his style. I think Hopkins has to really beat Wright's style and that will be tough. Wright is not going to go in there like Tarver and try to figure out which style to use. Against Hopkins you have to have a gameplan. the only question I have in this fight which makes the fight more up in the air is the weight.

James Toney needs to retire. He is a shadow of his former self.

John Ruiz, Riddick Bowe, Bruce Seldon, Corrie Sanders and Audley Harrison should join him.

I'd also request Junior Witter retire, just so I never have to hear that prick go on about himself again.
