    Kostya Tszyu Considering Comeback Fight

    Former undisputed junior welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu told the AAP that he is seriously considering a recent offer to return to the ring and start a comeback at age 38. Tszyu has not fought since being stopped by Ricky Hatton in 2005. [details]

    Wow. He should.... NOT, come back. Too late, too much of a break. If a grueling fight was his poison BEFORE the layoff, what would that do to him now? Great career, stay retired.

      Would love to see him in the welterweight mix. I'm curious as to whether he can carry his power to 147 so this should be an interesting development.

          Floyd would jump at the chance for this bout. It would FURTHER delay Cotto/Mayweather which is bull****.

              Even though he lost to Hatton, he didn't look horrible in the fight but the long layoff definitely won't help and he's not getting any younger.

                I'm a huge Tszyu fan - but what a funny little man he is.. Alot of people talk about it, but very few public figures have made it so completely obvious all they care about is fame and money. I'm insulted.

                    He probably wants to face PBF if he does in fact return. I can't imagine those russians paying obscene amounts of money for him to face some scrub at 147.
