    Forget Witter or Khan just fight a low-level 147 fighter in England then hand them up.

    With his engaging personality and mass appeal, he's a natural to go into tv color commentary. I'd take him over Lennox Lewis on HBo thats for sure.

    Definitely retire tho'. He's got nothing else to do. He tried to climb the mountain and fell off both times.
    Everyone saw it, and future, lesser opponents will capitalize. No need to become a stepping stone.

        When he is one of the richest boxers in the sport? I'm not sure he will be happy getting chump change for being beat around the ring for 12 rounds, or 2.

          he shouldnt retire yet...i think there are a couple of fights out there he should take a hard look at...

          1. Amir Khan- finish ur career fighting the so called next big star from england/uk...win or lose u give the uk fans a treat...

          2. Juan Diaz- it will be a slugfest...nuff said...

          3. Juan Manual Marquez- if he loses to PBF than why not...pac would go after PBF or Cotto anyway...

          4. and the darkhorse pick is Oscar Delahoya- they would both fight for the money...even if they dont need the money it will still be a major event...

            I'm gonna be honest with you brits, apart from Lennox Lewis there were never a great fighter out of the Islands, i'm sorry. Eubanks, Calzaghe, Hatton, even my man David Haye are all glorified B class fighters who can only win vs poor or fading opposition. I think you know this too and not need to admit it. Well what can you say, it's a small place. You do a good job keeping the illusion on so many fan's hearts by coming by only once in a while for that fight you know you're gonna win "because your opponent can't really fight 12 rounds". Apart from those situations there's nothing else. There's one special Island though, Puerto Rico. The British Islands are not it!!!!
            BTW i will still be rooting for Hatton and Haye in the future but oh well...

                  And thats whats going to happen if he's not careful, He would become a stepping stone for up and coming boxers.

                    That's because Puerto Rico is a third world country, basically you either become a boxer or starve. Name one other well known sport Rico is good at?

                      He should have one more fight over in the UK, fill a football stadium up and say good bye to the fans.
