Re: thinking of coming back
Royce - I am 37.
I had 56 amateur fights - started in the Kronk in Detroit, trained by the great Emanuel Steward. Regularly sparred in the gym with Tommy Hearns, Milton MCrory, Oba Carr etc. My final record was 56-0!
5 Detroit Golden Gloves titles, 2 Chicago Golden Gloves, 8 British Schoolboys titles - all at welterweight.
I had my last bout when I was 23, and then stopped because I got a job and could not put in the 6 hours of training per day, for 3 months before every tournament.
Boxing was the thing I was best at, and I miss it terribly every day.
BUT I WILL NOT COME BACK because there is no way I can recapture my youth and I will end up taking punishment from mediocre fighters who I could not have touched me in my prime. My pride at my excellent record and achievements will stop me from making a fool of myself now.
Don't do it! Just say NO.
