    calzaghe made the smart decision in not coming back. NO way was he beating Ward.

    David Reid......Lost to Tito and he was never the same. I thought for sure he would come back stronger and more experienced but he was one of those talents that never lived up to his expectations. Shame......great boxer.

    DLH. Gave Floyd a very close fight. Decided in a moment of brilliance to come into the Pac fight anorexic. Would have sworn he'd have tried it again at a sensible weight.

    I thought Calzage would come back for Froch. In the light of Bhops longevity he was still quite young.

    I thought Tony Ayala, Jr. would make a successful comeback after looking very good, but he did not obey the law once again, what a waste...........

    David Tua, counts and doesn't count ... I thought he looked ok against Usintov considering his long layoff and the fact he lost 40kg/88pounds in the build up to the fight, I thought he had a couple more in him with more training

    Tua probably wasted some of his best years. But I thing some of the reason it happened was a fallout with his manager.
