  • I guess I ever realized he was a world champion, but I was aware of him as a constant opponent for potential big fights. It’s cool to hear about a guy who pursued his dreams with a degree of success and is satisfied with what he accomplished. What more could a man ask for, right? On to the next chapter of his life.

  • Hats off to Rocky. I wish him the best and congratulations on winning a title and achieving his dreams in a sport that you do not “play.” Best of luck in your post boxing career.

  • A fine career for Rocky Fielding. I knew when Canelo beat his thin arms up so bad it would be the end for him. His arm looked bad enough to end a fighting career.

    • your thinking of Smith ,Canelo barely touched Fieldings arms it was mostly to the body.

  • best of luck to Rocky and yep once a champ always a champ nobody can ever take that away from him

  • Well, you did get to fight in MSG with Michael Buffer calling your name but you were never a world champion.

  • Well a smart decision to retire for sure with his facilities intact. Assume he got paid well for the Canelo fight and saved some money before then. In truth a very very weak world champion and his fight vs Canelo was a bad mismatch. Totally outclassed. He was brave but outgunned and appeared to have no strategy at all. A domestic level fighter who maximised on his chances. Good luck to him.

    • Let’s also not forget that he was starched in under a minute by Callum Smith, before the scouse fighter couldn’t make 168 anymore.
