Boxers can retire/unretire as much as they like since it is not a team sport. When you play a team sport you sort of have to keep the team in mind when making decisions like this.

ANd one difference between Clemens and Favre. Was Clemens was a FA, so any indecision didnt put a team into uncertainty. If the Astros and Yankees could sign him great. They added something midseason. They didnt have to effectively waste a spot on the 40 man roster until he decided what to do.
