I’ve never been one to weigh in on whether a fighter should retire or not, at least not in print. The way I see it, that’s up to the fighter, his family, and his team to decide. But after Paul Felder hinted at retirement after his five-round war with Dan Hooker, I will go public with my opinion that “The Irish Dragon” still has plenty in the tank and plenty to give to the sport. Do I understand the struggle to leave his daughter and his family? Absolutely. And if that’s the reason he walks away, more power to him. But if he’s judging his decision on the result of the Hooker fight, nah, Felder, you’ve still got that title run in you. But again, that’s not my place to decide, and if Felder does walk away, it’s been an honor covering his career.
