    I kinda got a Quentin Tarantino outlook with boxing like he does with directing. He thinks he only gots so many films in him before he falls off & becomes a hack & that all directors tend to follow that routine. Believe I read a longer article about his thoughts on it + many examples that rang true with his theory.

    Therefore I don't wanna see any fighter come back. His story is told. He's never gonna be what he was. In fact I wish more active boxers would retire. We got too many guys trying to relive the past in boxing.

      Sure. I don't want Pavlik or Taylor back in the ring, let alone out of jail or rehab, but that still doesn't stop me from missing those days when they were the best MWs in the world. Martinez too - he's old and has shot knees, but I still miss his fights hugely. Same for Paul Williams.

            I'm assuming he'll be back next year, but when Juan Diaz came back I was eager to see what he could do after taking three years off to rest up and he did well and I was looking forward to seeing what he could do at the top level but he got hurt so - maybe and hopefully he'll be back in 2016.

                Anyone who actually was concerned with the "entertainment" side of boxing.

                      I wish Castellanos was more active because I find him to be pretty entertaining. It's also a damn shame how Pirog's career turned out, not to mention P.Will.
