Some boxers who have been retired for some time have suggested that they might return to the ring. Riddick Bowe recently said he'd like to fight in Prizefighter. Tommy Hearns has called out a few fighters in recent times. Prince Naseem Hamed suggested he might one day come back. Lennox Lewis said he'd come back for $100 Million. Ricky Hatton has officially retired but I believe he might come back for one more fight in order to secure a final victory on his record.
Any match ups you'd like to see between boxers who are currently retired? Fights that never happened before or even rematches..
For example Hagler vs Hearns II - "Age Ain't Nuthin But A Slumber".
Which retired boxers (if any) would you like to see fight again?
I feel Naz should have made a comeback. He let himself down with his last few performances. He should have gone back to Ingle, become disciplined again then wiped the floor with Morales and Barrera like a fully focussed Naz would have done.
After watching the recent Sky special, Chris Eubank and Steve Collins still seemed to have unfinished business.
Like it or not a Benn vs Eubank 3 would undoubtedly sell.......
Not the round table with Roy, Calzaghe, and Woodhall?
Collins was wanting Roy in that one and there was talk of it.
I genuinely think Hatton still has it in him, he supposed to take on tune up but he didn't. Very sad.
I don't really have anyone else in mind but what about Barrera? I thought he did good against Khan despite the huge cut. Has he officially retired? He just sort of faded away, pretty rare way to go for a popular ATG

Leonard, Duran, Hearns, and Hagler should come back to clean up the division.
Leonard, Hagler, and Hearns are all still in pretty good shape for their ages. Duran on the other hand...
I can't honestly think of any retired boxer that just hasn't been retired too long, or is now too old...to warrant coming back and being close enough to there best or worth it.
Off hand anyway.
I always felt that Joe Calzaghe retired 1-2 fights too early. Chad Dawson was the 'man' at lhw and was seen as kind of a duck by Calzaghe. In hindsight, Joe probably would've easily slapped his way to points victory, maybe even a KO if it wuz in Britain.
I held out hope for a Calzaghe comeback but it's likely it won't happen
I thought Joe would make a comeback a year or so after he retired , he will never ever comeback now.Gone for good.
For Joe

Hatton needs to make a comeback and settle his family dispute in the ring against father Ray Hatton. Instead of bouncing him off the family car with a left hook, it can be done against the ropes, under the lights, infront of millions.
All should stay out of the ring and stay RETIRED.
I agree. There is no reason for ex champs like Holyfield, Tyson and Lewis to come back. I understand a lot of fans would want to see them fight again but it is not worth the health risk.
