    Joe Calzaghe could come back and beat Shumenov and claim to have beaten an undeafted ATG then defend it against RJJ again, and a few Latvians.

    Scott Harrison could still be decent on the domestic scene.

    I don't think you'll find all that many who could come back and be legitimate World Champs. Only those who retired whilst still near the top could come back and be a force . . . and let's face it not many have got the discipline to do that. Very rare to find someone who's been down and out and then comes back to be a legit contender years later.

    Can't really get far past Calzaghe tbh.

    Light-Heavy wouldn't offer Joe any problems I don't think.
    Doubt he could make 168 again.

    Let the Joe bashing commence!

    Did he actually retire? Didn't really hear much from him after his last round of troubles. :?

    Considering the domestic middleweight scene is pretty bare, I think Richard Williams could come back with a fair measure of success.

    Only Joe "The Terminator" at LHW is what I can think of. There's a few who could do alright domestically, Harrison, Woods, ones that srping to mind.

    Calzaghe is about the only one I can think of. He could probally beat most guys at Light Heavy.
