    I've posted this before, MAB announced his retirement after returning to Mexico from his fight vs. Daniel Jimenez in which he won his 1st world title.

    Yutaka Niida had announced his retirement in '01 but cameback in '03.
    Now after loosing to Gonzalez he's announced his retirement. He's only 29 with just 28 fights.

    Vicente Saldivar retired twice early because he no longer wanted to live the life of a boxer cameback 2 yrs. later. Retired again and cameback 2 yrs. later.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Fammo pretty much weary with the sport by that time in his career?

    Harada was 26 when he retired although he did have 60+ fights so that def. played a major role.

    Fammo was more than a little peeved at the Saldivar decision and yes he was weary of the constant training and fighting, back in the days when fighters had 6-10 fights a year. Fammo like Harada had more than 60 + fights so i guess i can't blame him.
