I think fenech retired when he was 32. I think that was coz his hands had been broken so many times that he just couldnt do it anymore.

I think Marciano could have stayed around a bit longer but he was really struggling to stay disciplined, not helped by the fact he had arseholes working within his camp.

Re: Boxers who stopped to early

Naz did stop way too early. He was shit hot but bottled it after losing to barrera. The guy had it all but just hasn;lt come back. He had one more fight against Calvo after the barrera fight but got booed by fans for being negative. Hasn't been seen since. He had a rematch clause with barrera but chumped it.

Definitely Marvelous Marvin Haggler.
Marv's pride was seriously affected with the outcome of the SRL fight and I think he was at the top of his game when he boxing 'no-mas'

Lennox Lewis-- Should have stayed for a Vitali rematch.

George Foreman-- Should have came back to try to win it 1 more time.

Roy Jones Jr. -- Should have stopped fighting flat-footed, retrained, regained his old style, and came back to decimate Tarver. Â If Johnson can give Tarver problems, he should be able to.

Naseem Hamed-- Should have tried to return Barrera the favor.

Marvin Hagler-- Should have came back to win against SRL, I hated the outcome of that fight.

I could go on and on.

ZÃ¡rate left boxing world too early.

Lazlo Papp was robbed by the authorties of a potential great career.

Spinks could of carried on after the Tyson defeat. Holyfield/Spinks in 89 could of been massive.

Dave 'Boy' McAuley could of come back strong.
