Chuck Liddell Unsure On His Future Following Loss To Rich Franklin

↵I’m still working on evaluating. I thought I did great before I was caught. I have to look at it some more and think about it. I think I looked good and I definitely was in great shape. I could have kept that pace up for another four rounds, without a doubt.

↵...

↵There’s a lot still to think about. I felt pretty good and I think showed I can compete. I’m not going to rush and I’ll do what I think is best. I’m just not at a point to make that decision yet.

↵↵- Chuck Liddell talks possible retirement with Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports

↵I don’t think it is the media’s place to determine when a guy should retire. But as a fan of Chuck’s I worry greatly about his health if he does continue to fight. He has been knocked out four times in his last six fights. This is the stage of careers that we’ve seen from a lot of boxers who hit the end of their career, won’t stop fighting, and end up seriously hurt. I don’t want to see that happen to Chuck.

↵In addition, it’s hard to see Chuck being able to compete with anyone at the top end of the division. Seeing him continue to fight and either getting knocked out by good fighters or having to beat up on low end fighters is not the legacy you’d like to see him leave.
