Comments Thread For: Librado Andrade-Eric Lucas Set For May 28 in Quebec City

He says he missed the atmosphere surrounding a fight, ring walk, the fans, etc. Of course it has a lot to do with Bute's great popularity.

As for the money, I hope you don't mean he's millionnaire, cause he's not. He doesn't need boxing to live, but he's not rich.

I'm pretty sure Lucas owns more many than almost everybody on this website. Being rich doesn't mean that you have to be millionnaire, earning 100K+ per year is being rich. I don't say he earns that right NOW but he sure made enough money with boxing to retire in peace and now with his boxing company (Interbox) and his restaurant from ''La cage aux sports'' brand, he absolutely didn't come back for money. I'm 100% sure.

Some people will say that he's too old and he can get injured( like me), but ''who are we for saying that?'' Lucas wants to come back in the ring because he doesn't want to say when he'll be 60 years old : ''Ha, I could have done it, I could have fight for 3-4 more fights''. He's an example of determination, a lot of people want to do a big number of things in their lives but they don't have the guts or will to achieve what they really want to do. Lucas live and do what HE wants to do, regardless of what others think and quite frankly, I think it's awesome.

He has the right to come back, I don't question that, but for sure, he can't be world class anymore. After he was robbed by the Beyer clan, he was stopped by Danny Green, a Mundine victim, then was dominated and stopped by Kessler, a somewhat limited fighter. And now, in his second outing in years, he wants to take on Andrade, the relentless beast ? I mean, come on, what a bad idea. He should be fighting lesser opponents, and enjoy it. I wonder what he has on the back of his mind for taking on a ranked and well respected fighter like Andrade. I wouldn't be surprised if Lucas was still thinking of becoming champion again, or even thinking of taking on Pascal or Bute for a mega local showdown. I believe that's his plan.
