44-1 aged 29 does not warrant someone hanging up their gloves however poor you think theyre last few performances have been.

To suggest ricky has nothing left in the tank is absurd.

Colin Hart rants on about the likes of robinson, la motta etc yet those guys both got through well over a 100 fights yet now he believes 45 pro contests has taken its toll on a man who should hang up his gloves

big time thumbs down on this one, hart has sold his soul to sell a few extra newspapers
He's calling for a faded fighter with earnings of £30+ million to quit incase he gets seriously hurt.

What's the crime?


His 29 years old
43-1
out on his own in his division as the best fighter
has 3-4 big paydays to come
wants to stamp his legacy on the sport (which he will not do if he was to retire now)

theres plenty of reasons why ricky retiring now would be stupid!!!
