    There are more than a handful of boxers who were already multi millionaires who returned to the sport with less than 100% vision.

    None of them needed to do what they did, but fighters fight, and if a guy who likes to fight is being encouraged by a influential promoter to take a big money fight I don't think it's unreasonable that Kessler thinks he can get away with one more fight.

    Plus, there is always the chance that he agrees to a fight, gets 75% of the way through camp and the heavy sparring and his symptoms start to come back.

    Would he back out without thinking twice? I'm not so sure.

      Sure we have seen fighters before going on too long. Of course it's possible that Kessler would do something ****** as well. We'll have to see.

        Because Frazier were ****** enough to continue, then should Kessler risk his own good health, to get respected????
        Sounds like you won't respect a fighter, unless he fights till he's half dead.
