I don't mean permanently, but fighters who at least anounced retirement and at least stuck to it for a little while. In other words not just something that came out at a post fight press conference/interview. Michael Spinks Felix Trinidad Others ...
technically, tito didn't retire after the hopkins fight - he took on that French dude first. Roberto Garcia - didn't he retire temporarily after Corrales decapitated him? not sure.
Did he announce he was done? I don't remember. Hamed is pretty close to meeting the criteria but he never officialy retired (as far as i know) and did fight once more a year later.

Well whether he said it or not, you have to count hamed. For all intents and purposes, MAB retired him, his first and only loss and the Hamed train came to an embarrassingly abrubt halt.
Henry Maske is the one active fighter I can think of that hasn't been mentioned. Active meaning he wasn't semi-retired while still undefeated before losing their 0 in an ill-advised comeback, as was the case with the following: Aaron Pryor Yuri Arbachakov Lonnie Bradley James J. Jeffries
Yep. The Trinidad's were caught to be in cahoots with the state commissions. They were getting away with it the whole time.:notallthere:
current wba straw champ yutka niida retired when he was undefeated due to some sort of back problems. he came back after a year or two and regained the title. gussie also retired after his first loss, but i think he was also shot in the arm or something prior to his loss.
He was shot in the arm but actually was half blind when he lost to Mendy and finally retired due to the sight loss. Great fighter imho as well and could have made his mark if not for the unfortunate eye trouble.
