2017 has been an interesting year for the sport of boxing in many ways. Up until now, we have seen some big fights and the return of marquee fighters, such as
Manny Pacquiao, to basic cable and free television. As the boxing and MMA worlds gear up for the big circus show on August 26th, I wanted to take some time to reflect on the numerous fighters who have walked away from the fight game, and who have announced their intentions to retire this year. So far we have seen retirement announcements from
Robert Guerrero,
Wladimir Klitschko,
Juan Manuel Marquez,
Tyson Fury,
Timothy Bradley, and
"Sugar" Shane Mosley.
Miguel Cotto also announced that 2017 will be his last year in the ring.
With all of these retirements finalized, and on the horizon, I wanted to ask our readers
