I can't remember the last time a totally healthy boxer just about to finally hit the big time has quit before?

I know Floyd hinted at it but we knew that was crap, and Ray Leonard retired a couple times but he had kind of achieved everything when he chose to hang up the gloves.


Green has just won a belt in one of boxings most potentially exciting divisions right now. He's only 32 or something, in his fighting primes, especially considering how old everyone else is in that divison.

Totally baffling
He is 35 but hasnt had a lot of fights. He looked much bigger than usual at the retirement press conference so maybe he doesnt have the fire anymore to lose weight?
Seems a strange retirement but is that only cos most fighters go on too long?
I think he is financially pretty well off. He made 2.5 million for Mundine fight and probably a few other decent pays.
I cant help but think there is more to this story than has been told to the media. I hope he doesnt have a medical issue.
