He still has money to make if he wants it. I'm not convinced he does. He's not that particularly skilled and depends heavily on his size advantage..
I suppose he still has a strong support (because of his ethnicity, his family name, and his boxing skillset). For boxers, it is a great adventage to be Mexican born, because of large fan base. Personaly, I have never met any Mexican in my whole life.
Maybe if somebody incentivised hs ring performance with ... uh ... herbal ... remuneration thereafter?
I'm Mexican-American and I'd like to see him make a comeback but idt he will. He was only ever good at middleweight bcs of his size advantage and chin
His only chance is to fight guys 25 or 30 pounds lighter than him a fight time. He bludgeons smaller guys but does not have the skills to hang with top ten guys his own size. I dont think he has the discipline to weigh in as a middleweight plus the weight drain game gets harder as one gets older. I predict he will fight a couple of setup no hopers and then retire or get his ass kicked if he tries to step up.
He could literally killed in the ring at LHW, that would be a terrible idea, even SMW is a step too far at this point, his heart isn't there and he hasn't seemed quite right since the Fonfara beating, he needs to retire ASAP.
Surely, he can not make 168, ever...But, there is a possibility : Ward, Kovalev and Beterbiev will move up at CW (challenge, Ward was talking about HW), and Stevenson will be retired till 2018 or 2019... so, it will be empty space at LHW, and JCC will seize the oportunity...
Will the BobFather allow his "Zurdo" to fight Chavez Jr. Now that Jr. Is with another promotion? I know that it's all love now... but still that's a lot of money on the table.
More than likely... I agree. But would Bobby allow Jr. To make money again by matching him vs. His NKOTB?
