    Is there any retired fighter who can come back and succeed?

    Anyone you can think of? I know they are retired for a reason but hey, there are some weak champions out there and maybe a retired fighter can have a style to put it all together.

      I would say: Lennox Lewis
      Carlos Baldomir
      Prince Naseem Hamed

        George Foreman..he could knock out a train.
        He could come back in the future defeat an army of robots with one hand.

            I'd pick Mike Tyson to beat Ruslan Chagaev. I don't like Chagaev, and personally believe that people are over-rating him because he beat a 7 foot punching bag name Valuev.

              George Foreman and Mike Tyson in the Heavyweight division. And Hamed can never make a comeback because he'd risk losing, we all know what happened when Barrera beat him....he got so upset he retired from fighting altogether. Can't be a fighter if you can't deal with a loss.

                You haven't seen Chagaev fight.

                  Your Meldrick sig makes me want to stop watching boxing. It's too sad.

                    Did the McBride fight not convince you guys? Tyson is done. Fighters who have that style peak at a young age and quickly fade into belivion.
