Sad end to a cracking career.

I say end but, you know...

Good luck in the future big man... right decision (about 5 years too late)

Weve heard all his retirement spiel before though , havent we ?

[Newport Daz]

I really hope Danny's explanation is true. I'd hate to think he'd doped and was using his "current" retirement as an excuse to miss taking a drugs test rather than be caught out.

Danny Williams. The guy who put a couple of shower curtains around his bed. Claiming it was an oxygen tent with a box of Mr Kiplings cakes on his bed side table.

I don't think that's the kind of guy who would be taking drugs.

Good luck to Danny Williams. Always comes across as a genuine nice guy.

[Datsue]

Take care & good luck, Danny.

Dear god i hope he doesn't come back

[Bronxbull666]

I hope Danny doesn't have any financial pressures and can chill now.

[Lenny]

He's saying all the right things, but then he has been for about 4 years now
I hope this time he means it

A man of his pedigree should be found a role on our screens.

[stujones]

Not trying to sound pedantic Carl, but there are plenty of geniune world champions from the UK who haven't got a commentating job - so not sure why Danny's pedigree means he should be a definate.

The guy got battered at European level was probably never in the worlds top ten.

[Jeff Thomas]

Can't think of another heavyweight whose career I enjoyed quite as much Danny's other then Lennox

Yep agreed, he's had a crazy career really. So many ups and downs, such a frustrating career in many ways, punctuated by the odd really decent moment.

I don't know why anyone isn't suspicious about this. It smells bad.

And don't give that 'he's a nice guy' stuff - so's Lance Armstrong etc

And don't give that 'he's a muslim he can't do drugs' - so's Larry Olubamiwo and Ali Adams.

Just seen on twitter someone called Nina Cranston is tweeting Williams v potter rematch made make of it what you want think it's some semi pro thing

I've said it before. Danny has definitely dabbled in PEDs (Pastries Eaten Daily), specifically EPO (Extra Pies Often).

For all of Pigs pointless post's I actually agree Danny Williams will end up on an EBF bill in 2013.

I take it we're talking only British heavy's - nothing can compare to Tyson's.

I have read today Danny is going to box unlicensed now with his first bout against Mark Potter in February in Brentwood.

No drugs test there!
