    I would say Evander Holyfeild he has been put of prime for like 11 years i mean that longer then most boxers careers last for god sake. Not to mention the man has hep B and also a hart condition to top it off. I am not sure how he still is aloud to fight with the medical condition he has. But to tell you the truth if he fights again i while watch because he is the first boxing memory i have and been favorite of mine for ever since i saw him fight but it is kinda getting out hand and i wish he call it a day.

    Has Tommy Hearns retired? I know he has not fought since 2006 but did he ever announce retirement? I know he said he retired in 2000.

    Yeah he has, although someone mentioned he may comeback. He could certainly still probably outbox Valuev only to be robbed on the cards.

    I'd like to add Marco Antonio Barrera into the mix. Nowhere left to go he should just call it a day & enjoy his retirement, I'm not letting the cut in the Khan fight disguise that he's done

    Wayne McCullough was a very entertaining fighter, big heart, very good chin and stamina, but it’s the time for him to hang up the gloves.

    agreed


    When a fighter is in his late 30s, has had his best years behind him and trying to climb a mountain that just isnt reachable anymore its always very dangerous.

    Wayne has his fingers in so many pies it`d be so unfortunate if he did end up taking 1-2 more hidings just for the sake of it rather than getting out now.


    Vitali Klitschko coming back made sense on so many fronts because apart from his brother even at 37 odd nobody in the division could hurt him and money was there to be made.

    But with guys like Wayne you genuinely fear your going to pick up a paper and find out that something within his brain has been detected that shouldnt be there and think if only...
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    I feel for holyfield he is fighting to pay off depts and plus his 11 kids if he got one big payday he probably would call it a day.
