Roy Jones - vs Ruiz
Dude already climbed the weight classes and was a certified legend with only 1 loss which was a disqualification. Got the Heavyweight title, and should have rode off into the sunset





Muhammad Ali - vs Leon Spinks 2
He got his revenge against Spinks, still was showed flashes of greatness, and was still of solid mind and still spoke very well at the time. Could have been a 3 time HW champion and retired with his career already set




Zab Judah - vs Matthysse
Probably his last fight where he looked real good in the ring, it would have been a great way to retire. Instead of being a gatekeeper for upcoming fighters to get a lick off of you. Zab's last fights were kind of sad to be honest

Ali should've retired after the Foreman fight. Anything after that was completely unnecessary

I thought Thrilla in Manilla should've been the last fight for both Frazier and Ali. Broke the tie between them. A huge pay day for both with nothing left to prove after. But I get it for Ali. When there's still millions to make per fight I understand why they keep fighting. The saddest to me are the one that still push on fighting in front of hundreds of people for thousands of dollars.

Roy after the Felix Trinidad fight
Bhop after Kovalev - kovalev lit him up way too much for to continue but he did and got ko'ed into retirement by Joe Smith.
Sugar Ray after the Hearns rematch - that rematch is savage as shyt
Hearns after the rematch with Barkley
Mike Tyson after Lennox Lewis fight - but he had money problems
Evander Holyfield - honestly after Larry Donald beat him that should have been it but he also had money problems
