I wouldn't be surprised if he came back also. The bad thing is he will have to deal with the comments he made about doing it for his health.

Leave the man alone and let him live,we all make mistakes some more then others,none of us are in the position to judge another mans life.

I'm not judging they guy. He is what he is and isn't hurting anyone but himself. I'm not perfect either. I'm just not interested in reading a circle jerk over his career like its actually over on this or any other boxing website. It's a joke. And I sure as hell don't feel like him talking about his health like he just realized boxing is dangerous. It's only an excuse.

Maybe he really feels today like he's going to retire, but this is just another impulsive decision of an alcoholic with a history of impulsive decisions. All the DUI's, drunk and disorderly, backing out of fights with "knuckle infections" for two years, backing out of the bute fight at the last minute, I could go on, serve as examples of the guys frame of mind. Boxing writers need not waste the time writing articles or interviewing him about his decision to retire. They're only going to be interviewing him about why he changed his mind some time in the next two years and how he's going to be back better than before. He just wants some time to be a fall down drunk without anyone pressuring or bothering him. Don't bother speculating what he's going to do next, that's it. He'll be back fighting when he needs more drinking money, even if its just at local non televised shows. We have not seen or heard the last of him. Pavlik can do whatever he wants, I'm not mad at him, obviously. I just don't want to be swamped with all these career obituary/ praise articles that are premature and unwarranted.

I made a post with something similar in mind, when I first read an article on the matter and Pavlik's quotes. I wasn't quite so harsh in my comments (lol), but I agree in essence with yours. Kelly's reasoning smacks of rationalization, like he's trying to convince himself and others that he means what he's saying. I can see him back sooner, rather than later.
