    Oh man. What a terrible decision. He wants to fight from 154-160? Top guys?

    Yeah right. I think he fights a few unranked guys, wins, realizes this was a bad idea, and retires again.

    Or.....Bring on Oscar vs Canelo!

    Needs to fight a semi-can first and that'll put things to bed

    Don't want him getting iced

    Yes if he gets iced in a public spectacle, it is not a good look for boxing.

    I don't deny that. I just don't think it goes well. Very rarely do 47 year old guys make a comeback to boxing that goes how they planned it in their heads.

    I do think Vitali could come back and still beat some mediocre HW contenders. Although that speaks to his quality as a fighter it also goes to show how bad HW is. I'd confidently pick Vitali with a full camp to beat someone like Kownacki.

    Saw this today...
    Terrible decision to be honest.

    What's with all these guys coming back suddenly?

    Most likely...
    I mean, I don't mind exhibitions for like charity or things like that but actually making real comebacks?
    Can't be too good when nearing 50...

    He's been looking fat as a chimichanga the past couple years. He needs a very good trainer plus a nutritionist to get back to any kind of decent shape.

    Will he be wearing a garter belt and stockings in the ring?
