    If Wladimir needs or wants a number of million, he can come back in a lucrative match with Usyk.

    They're both Ukranian, and Turki would put up the money.

      Talking comebacks, no one would doubt that Floyd would outbox Barrios easily, right now.

        Would love to see Andre Ward comeback and fight Canelo at 168! C'mon Turkish D. make it happen!

          As a general rule I do not like comebacks. Nine times out of ten it destroys the image of your favorite fighter forever and you always remember that embarrassing loss.

            I was thinking Marcos Maidana could have come back at some point, that was years ago so definitely not anymore. He seemed content to let it go.

              Wlad was already over the hill against Fury ten years ago and will be 50 in a few months. He desperately seems to need the Saudis' money - Foreman's age record is just a nice narrative

                Didn't know Campbell retired. He was struggling mightily, probably for the best he retired

                  Ward,"It's been 6 years and nobody's called my name "" There's a reason for that.Yeah,it's called being retired. Nobody except for Jake Paul calls out retired fighters.If Dre really wanted "all the smoke " he'd comeback against somebody in the top 20 and if successful call out a Champion. Instead he gets to self delude that he's being avoided. Pitiful.
