    Everyone is comin back, is ALI next???

    How do all of you feel about all these DONE fighters comin back for no apparent reason.

    I for one dont like to see former greats come back and kill the legendary image they have left the sport of boxing with.

    First it was Roy Jones - who didnt really accomplish much with his win on Sat.

    Next will be Hollyfield - another pointless fight of a former great who cant find somethin else to do with his life.

    Next it looks like Tyson is considering a comeback

    And now there was an article that Tyzu is also considering comin back.

    am I the only one, or do any of you feel the same, that RETIRE should mean RETIRE, and we should hang on to their old fight videos and cherrish them forever knowing we cant see the fighter anymore. I think there is beauty in that.

    Did Tszyu officially retire before ?

    I'd like to see Tszyu come back and fight Cotto.
    I still think Tyson can knock out a few guys here and there.

      Tsyzu has the best chance if he comes back.

        I agree with LilHopkins. Holyfield can't do much else.

          Roy never retired, neither did Holy or Zoo.
          Tyson is done, and obviously Holy is too.
          Zoo and Roy can still beat some contenders out there.

              well obviously. every other one of those fighters is pretty much shot, except maybe roy jones jr, who is maybe 50% shot because of his dulled reflexes.

              I think tsyzu left the sport prematurely and if he doest come back, i think he could beat a lot of guys ranked withint the top 15

                  Only TYSON is officially retired among the names you have mentioned. And only him and Holyfield are the onlky 2 guys who doesn't have a chance to make a succesful comeback.

                  No apparent reason? Money dude, money.
