    Mayweather for sure (although he'll probably come back) I think Calzaghe retired at the right time if he wanted to stay undefeated...especially with the names calling him out

    What names? Joe Cal could have stayed undefeated for a couple more years.

    Naz, seriously one loss and calls it quits, he could have still had a great career post MAB.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Floyd for a recent fighter..

    Undefeated and still in his prime..

    Calzaghe because i want to see him get beat, but he was smart to retire.. If you don't need the money and you're starting to lose a step in the ring, then it's time to go.. Not saying he lost a step but he would've got there.. speed is the first thing to go.

    Naz didn't retire voluntarily. He simply lost his cojones after the MAB fight, ran over somebody, and became someone's cell b1tch.

    Felix Tito Trinidad- He could have stuck around as long as he did not fight pure boxers and he stayed in shape. He was a beast at 154.

    Naseem Hamed- Its even worst was that he was so damn arrogant after his wins and then 1 loss he was totally deflated.

    Lennox Lewis- I know he had to do what he had to do for himself but it has never been the same since he left.

    Kostya Tszyu- I still think he had a punchers chance against anyone 140 to 147 for a couple more years.

    Ike Quartey- Was never the same after the Oscar fight but still had an iron chin and skills.

    Marvin Hagler- Damn that Sugar Ray and those judges.

    Sven Ottke- Got out when it was getting interesting.

    Khaosai Galaxy- Little past 30 years old and calls it quit. Was an asian Mike Tyson.

    Ricardo Lopez- Still could have ruled for another couple years.

    He fought a Spanish guy after Barerra but when he was interviewed after the weigh in he was slurring his words he was so dehydrated and didn't look much better during the fight. He didn't fancy moving up in weight and had made a pile of cash so he packed it in.
