    I'd like to see Tszyu have a comeback fight so he can go out with a win. But he couldn't take any of the elite WW's right now. Fight a prospect or a journeyman, beat em, and let a good legacy stand before he hangs around too long and tarnishes his rep.

      Kostya has left it too long after the Hatton fight. I knew he wouldn't be able to retire after the Hatton loss. He should have had a fight in 06 against a winnable opponent and either retired then or went back to the drawing board to see who else was around.

        No one wants to retire on a loss, let him beat a few binmen up before he ends his career.

          Layoffs never seemed to bother him, having said that three years is a long time and he went through hell fire and brimstone against Hatton last time, so this is definitely not advisable.

              I can, Floyd seems like he'd rather fight way past it fighters like Oscar and Kostya these days than hungry prime, top of their game fighters like Cotto.

                This sounds like a load of crap to me. I'm a huge fan of Kostya but it sounds like his book is not selling well, so he needs his name in the papers.

                  It's not as if he had been staying in decent shape during his layoff. He's going to suffer the Tito Trinidad fate should he come back.

                    I hear ya, but it sounds like a business decision to me. I sorta agree but I would like to see him fight again

                      Terrible idea. Please, stay retired and keep your dignity KT.
