I honestly dont see why not

He's young and when fighters like him cant comeback, its their mentality not being "shot"

He just needs to deal with his problems and i am sure he could make a comeback.

considering he fought a close fight with one of the top 5 P4P fighters(Martinez. And it was a close, back and forth fight, until the cut and the inexperienced cut man came into play) even though he was only 2 weeks outta rehab and clearly weight drained, I'd say the talent is still easily there. If he gets his **** together soon, there's no reason he can't comeback strong. He could, with the right training and trainer, be as lethal as he was against Taylor. He's not even 30 yet.

I not conviced he will, I think he is finacaly set he has a bar that he runs so he has a source of income. I read that he is very thrifty with his money does not own a special car just a ford or something like that. Plus he has a daughter and he may want to spend time with his family. I also read once that he wanted to retire by 30 so I think he may be done with boxing.

I would have liked to see him fight more because he is a white American which is rare these days. But I like watching other races and boxers from diffrent parts of the world also so its no big deal to me.

depends on your defintiion of back. there is a lot going against him, mainly his self destructive interests but if he changes those things, takes his time and fights the right opponents to regain his skills and confidence he could be a force at 168. I believe his body probably wont let him compete at 160 any more. Lots of good opponents for him at Super middle but he getting those demos off his back will be his biggest fight.

Personally I'd like to see him come back as a light heavyweight. No longer looking like an Auschwitz survivor. Whether he will or not remains to be seen. Hopkins probably took his soul.
