    I can see it happening, I really can.

    Another freak show for the casual fans on PPV.

    So how long until we have Jim Watt making a comeback? Watt Vs Luke Campbell..

    I can hear Hearn now.. "it's true Jim Watt isn't the same fighter he once was but he has one thing Luke doesn't have, Experience, he is a former world champion and he is also one of the best pundits of all times, Luke is in for a hard nights work and we know that but Luke needs to step it up now and we want to give the fans quality fights and big nights and this is what that is, we are taking a real risk with Luke here to give the fans what they want and deserve"

    The guys bought himself a new nose anyone really think is going back into boxing. Personally I love his commentary and punditry, really down to earth guy and I find his analysis very technical and interesting.

    Re watch the groves fights. He quit at just the right time for me. He'd be stupid to come back.

    Yes, Kessler/ Froch is possible..............................just read about it happening, not sure yet, but Froch seems to be open for it and could make both some extra money..............

    I'm not saying I want to see it or anything like that. But it's not the worst comeback rematch/trilogy we've ever seen. Sure it's a better matchup than Hopkins Jones 2 and both those guys were active.

    Neither Froch or Kessler left the sport disgraced. Kessler lost a close decision to a good version of Froch. And Froch won via devastating knockout over a good young fighter in Groves.

    Now I know both are past their best but that makes it an even playing field so it should be comptetive. Both men keep in good shape and aren't in their 40's yet so I believe they can box at a decent level still.

    The fight will sell as it's 1-1 from the first two encoounters and it's two popular warriors coming out of retirement. Because neither have embarrassed themselves in boxing yet many will tune in to see can they reel back the years. Stranger things have happened. Both fighters stand to make good money so why wouldn't they fight eachother?

    Call me a sucker but I'd probably end up buying it out of intrigue rather than excitement.

    One sentence that sums up the situation perfectly.

    Kessler is a warrior, but a comeback now? WTF.
