We're still waiting for Mikey Garcia (34-0, 28KOs) to return to the ring, and when he does it will likely be a year long layoff.

When he does come back, will he be promoted by Top Rank after the ugly legal battle, or will he be able to break free and choose his own path?

"I still don't know, that's a toss up still," Garcia told BoxingScene.com. "We're actually trying to get something settled with them to get back, but we're not 100 percent sure what we will do."

If Garcia is able to work something out with Top Rank, would he be able to put aside the bad blood and have a good relationship?

"If everything's settled, and it's something that's beneficial for me, I would (reunite with Top Rank)," Garcia said. "I still have to sit down and figure things out."
