Seconded, I think Lennox Lewis was the same, its always best to retire when on top of the world.

I'll never forget his fight with Jeff Lacy, arguably his finest win.
What a legend. He will go down with Lewis as one of the finest British fighters in the history of the sport. Thanks for all the memories. The destruction of Eubank, the battering of Lacy and wins over the likes of Byron Mitchell, Omar Sheika, Mikeal Kessler (superb), Bernard Hopkins and RJJ. The critics and haters will argue that he avoided the best in their peak but his record speaks for itself, 46-0, World Champion for 11 years, held the WBO/WBA/IBF/WBC titles, Ring Magazine Super Middleweight Champion and Light Heavyweight Champion!
All the best for the future!

Retires, not quits.

When spoken about a boxer or any other sportsman or woman there is a big difference between retiring and quitting.

If he was English you'd be calling him English. If he was shite you'd call him Welsh. Same thing with Murray.
