Post by DG. »

I hope these guys call it a day.

1) Holyfield ( Still on of the best - but its time for him to retire).
2) Hopkinon So bloody boring.
3) Winky Wright See above

Harrison, Williams, Maskaev, Ibragimov. I'm seeing a trend here.

DLH.

Can't agree with Tarver, but only because I don't want Woods to quit. Although if he loses...

Its gotta be Roy Jones and Evander Holyfield.

Those two are both seriously deluded and appear determined to damage their health and undermine their own legacies.

Not too sure who I want to hang up the gloves but I'm pretty sure 2009 will the last year as a fighter for Hatton.

Ricky has stated if he can beat Pacquiao & set the record straight he will have to take a look to see what else there would be to achieve! However, I believe Pacquiao & Mayweather would both beat Hatton.

Win or lose, this is Hatton's last year in the sport as a boxer!

I am not sold on Pacman. JMM is the netter of the 2 imo.

PBF always beats Hatton, but I think Hatton knows this also.

Yes, his last year in the Sport.

I don't actually want Calzaghe to retire, just because I'd like to see him fight Dawson/Froch/Pavlik. If he doesn't take on one of them though, he best get out...

Jones Jr, Barerra, DLH, Holyfield, Toney, Rahman, Eastman - all time to go....
Chris Byrd (not sure if he's officially hung 'em up or not?)
Reggie Johnson - who's bizarrly made a comeback this year...
Ricardo Mayorga - time to go back to a life of booze, cigars and hookers. Actually, did he ever leave it?
Sam Soliman - great guy, but time to get out rather than getting beaten by Mundine every other month
Graham Earl - again, nice guy.... but if he won't quit off his own back, someone needs to stop him before he gets hurt badly
Mosley - will see how he gets on against Margarito, but if he gets the hellacious beating I suspect then he should probably get out..

I would say Hatton. In a perfect world he fights and beats Pacquiao in May and then gets a Mayweather rematch at 140lbs. But regardless of the outcome of them two potential fights he has a maximum of two fights left at a world-class level for me.

Talk about retire in 2009.......this cat should have turned it in about 3+ years ago.

Maybe for each head shot Evander the boxer takes, Evander the poster's mental health deteriorates :o

Calzaghe is probably going to wait for Michael Spinks to fight him. Would like him to rematch Hopkins, if not, retire

ALot of the HW's should retire now though

I agree about Mosley. He was far too good to end on a series of dispiriting lows.
