Sergio Martinez vs Felix Sturm would be good for a farewell fight, or Sergio can go out a champion by fighting Jermain Taylor

If he looks the way he did with cotto then he wont beat any decent MW

Hard to see a point of risking his knee again...he might just get embarrassed again and to top it off might be a permanent cripple...unless his knee is 100% ready Maravilla should hang em up.

They usually come back for several farewell fights. If his knee is fine and he feels good I bet he goes on and if it does not, farewell!!!!

To be honest, as shot as Taylor is, I would think Jermaine has a very good chance-lol

50/50 fight imo.

If you're 50/50 on returning, don't return... this is boxing... you need to be 100% committed. He could come back and go the Amir Khan route and basically just fight guys he's always favored against...

You mean if his opponent has good power and lands a clean shot on his chin?

I thought of that as soon as Taylor won the title.

He obviously fancies his chances against taylor ... pointless fight if it happens but whatever
