    Default In good shape after retiring

    I was going through the "Fat Mike Tyson" thread that just came up today and wondered if there are any boxers out there who retire and STILL remain in decent shape.

    The first one that comes to mind is Sugar Ray Leonard. Anybody else?

    Ali can barely move, he has severe Parkinson's, he can't even walk on his own. He lives near me.

    Tommy Hearns looks to be in great shape.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    SRL was the one who I thought of. Obviously most of the guys who become trainers stay in pretty good shape. Assumin he is now finally retired, Thomas Hearns i think is still in good shape

    Lennox, although not sure that suit is tight or holding hiding his fatness.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Mickey Ward has been keeping himself in pretty good shape.
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    FightFan,
    I somehow think that the heavyweights have a harder time staying in shape after retiring but Ali for a retired heavyweight looks just fine. I wonder how he excersizes with Parkinsons .

    JazMerkin,
    Yeah, Tommy hearns seem to be doing good. I can imagine Hagler still follow a healthy life.

    Master,
    Lennox Lewis doesn't look like he's in bad shape. Does that mean he is still considering a comeback? Heheh!

    Kel,
    Yes, I can imagine he excersizes with his children during their training sessions and so on.

    ChrisNagel,
    Mickey Ward doesn't seem as damaged in his face either compared to Gatti. It was a nice fight.

    Killersheep,
    Yeah, Tommy Hearns seems like he still hits the gym as well as Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler. Not so sure about Roberto Duran.
