Retired Too early ??

[Hulk]

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.

Not tryin to be a smart ass, just curious as to why you said Ike Quartey had an iron chin.

He got dropped by Oscar couple times.

And by WINKY WRIGHT like 3 times.

Very good fighter and I liked him but never thought his chin was iron.

His will was though thats for sure.

[THE THIRD MAN]

It has to be big George Foreman! 27 years old in 1976 and he gives it all up?
WTF ? Foreman would only have been 30 by 1979 when Holmes won the title.
I know the reasons why he gave it up but it is a shame as he still had a lot to offer and Holmes would have found Foreman a formidable foe back then.
Boxing history was altered considerably by his decision.

In Australia we had Featherweight champion Johnny Famechon retire at age 26 years?

Jeff Chandler,Bantam Champ that flew under the radar.

Yoko Gushiken from Japan.Dude was a whirlwind.Won his Jr.Fly belt in under 10 fights,made 13 defenses and then retired after a rematch loss,his only loss at the old age of 26.

Maybe not quite iron but he still was never knocked out and that has to count for something. How about rock jawed, iron will and very skilled? =)

Blah blah blah on his chin. The topic was retired to early not chin debate...Either way Ike should have stuck around a little while longer and or fought more often
