The Official "It's time to hang 'em up" Thread... Make Your Nominations

[SuikodenII]

I hereby nominate the following fighters.........

-KO'd twice in a row
-Could not possibly defeat any of the current 168/175/200 lb champions
-Missed weight in June by a quarter mile, then re-hydrated 20lbs the next day
-Next bout: October 4th against Tommy Karpency... would not be surprised if the upset happened...
-Final Beacon of Hope: Makes weight. Stops Karpency with a solid punch early unlike the GB bout...

-Brutally stopped and horribly outclassed when facing top tier competition
-Could not possibly defeat any of the current 168/175 champions
-Has fought a lot more timid and gun shy since Froch
-Next bout: December 6th against TBA...........in Canada, of course.............
-Final Beacon of Hope: Freddie Roach digs the offense back out of Bute, if at all possible

-Utterly over matched and pounded on, twice, by Evgeny Gradovich
-Cannot possible beat any champion at 130 or 126.
-Poor defense, cuts easy, and sloppy technique makes for struggles, even in victory against "low" tier competition
-Next bout: Wants to return November 15th against TBA
-Final Beacon of Hope: His move up to 130 is followed by some wise (safe) match making on 50's part

-Still living off his early 2012 upset of the year against P. Wongjongkam (sp?)
-Has done nothing but lose since then and I highly suspect he's on PEDs
-His last three opponents combined records (all KO wins): 29-33-1, yet lost two consecutive "tune-ups", and one was 14-14-3
-Next bout: November 13th against WBC S. Fly champion, Carlos Cuadras
-Final Beacon of Hope: He catches an over trained CC the night of the bout...

-Has been KO'd twice in recent times
-Has fought gun shy since and is slowing at an incredible rate
-Was knocked completely unconscious in his last bout in the KO of the Year candidate in Feb.
-Next bout: Rematch with Rey Loreto on December 13th.....
-Final Beacon of Hope: Lands first in December early....

[Newzz]

Shannon Briggs, Roy Jones, Antonio Tarver, Alfredo Angulo, Jeff Lacy, Loser of Sam Soliman vs Jermaine Taylor

 

[Newzz]

Rios nor Ortiz can retire until we get Rios vs Alvarado 3/Ortiz vs Berto 2 and then finally Rios vs Ortiz

 

[patscorpio]

@SuikodenII you gotta take my boy Chad off that list breh....hes not washed up

 

[patscorpio]

Shannon Briggs - Somebody should have told him enough was enough after almost being killed Vitali. I really have had no desire to see him in the ring since that fight because I know he is not 100% over it
Roy Jones - Right now he's earning and paying the tax man fighting against light hitting Euros. I hope to goodness he never faces any of the current cruiserweight champions all of which would body him something serious (Lebedev already did)
Jeff Lacy - ..just retire Jeff...you're done breh
James Toney - nearing 100 fights and speech is a mess...never been stopped and I have a feel its coming very soon if he doesn't stop

Fernando Guerrero - Dude gets hurt too easy and has shyt recovery powers

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

The klits, well wlad.

 

[George's Dilemma]

I mean, I don't even know where to begin with this guy. Overrated, struggled when jumping two weight classes, struggled with Molina in 10 rounds, struggled with Taylor in 12 and might have only had a Majority decision had it not been for the lucky knockdown he pulled off. I mean you're either that dude or not. Clearly he's not. And he still has c00n tendencies. He needs to hang it up, clearly.






















































































































































Looks at watch, countsdown till the homie Newwz proceeds to check me.

I swear Rios is going to be such a mess 10 years from now. He's already not wrapped too tight, and clearly not that bright. Very likeable guy though, can't help but to root for him and I always enjoy his interviews, but the punishment he takes is cringeworthy at times.

He might as well retire...he's had a hall of fame career already

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Angulo - Dude's career basically ended when Kirkland came to Mexico and crushed the buildings. Now he's just a walking heavy bag that has struggle fights while getting his shyt pushed back.

Zab - I'd be nice if he'd stop some random journeymen to go out with a win, because nobody wants to remember that boring ass fight he had with Paulie. The fight with Swift was the perfect exit bout.

Victor Ortiz - This nikka mentally just can't cut it anymore and he doesn't like taking any form of punishment nowadays.

 

[SuikodenII]

-Judah has had a bad fall from grace, but I think he could still make some type of noise, even if it's minor. He's 1 bad loss away from the land of no return.

-AGREE 100,000% on Victor Ortiz, he is D.O.N.E.

-Rios is on his way out along with Judah and Alvarado........ no reason we can't get Alvarado/Rios 3 and get it over with already.

-AGREE 100,000% on Andre Berto, he is D.O.N.E.

(on that note......all jokes aside....Berto/Ortiz 2 with the loser mandated to retire is a great idea...)

-Lacy....... as bad as his loss was against Savigne, Savigne is a beast. Lacy needs to retire, but it isn't a physical thing...I think he has some serious mental problems.

 

[SuikodenII]

Shannon Briggs, Roy Jones, Antonio Tarver, Alfredo Angulo, Jeff Lacy, Loser of Sam Soliman vs Jermaine Taylor

-Roy, I believe, needs this Russian paper to get Uncle Sam off his back, so as long as he doesn't step to far into the talent pool, he'll be okay.

-Briggs...........I disagree completely. Not only has this final run been hilarious, he could actually spoil some guys out there (it's heavyweight after all...)

-Tarver.........the banks fight would've told the story but now we must wait (it's heavyweight, after all...)

-Angulo....yeah, he's D.O.N.E.

-Soliman's gonna win but I'm glad JT's getting this final shot. Afterwards, there'll be no reason to prolong the inevitable.

Shannon Briggs is trying his best to go out with a bang dude is hilarious
