Sure, you can argue that he was fighting above his division, but looking at the current state of the lightweight division I don't see him doing any better there. He's given a lot to his fans but now it's time for him to call it quits. Besides, if I was a BJ fan, I wouldn't be too interested in seeing him get dominated again. |
Seeming like it's really important to you, huh?
I'm a fan, and I don't like watching him fight anymore, it makes me cringe. But he's not getting knocked out and it's his life. Besides, I see no reason he couldn't be top 5 at LW if he worked for it.
When calling for retirement, I think of Liddell as my standard. The difference between him and Liddell is Liddell reached a point where he couldn't take a punch and his speech was slurring. BJ's just reached a point where he's predictable and lazy.
