8) Wow hes up there in age and he can still make bantamweight! 8)
I really respect McCullough but I feel he should stay away from the ring. 36 is getting up there for a little guy plus the fact he's been in a lot of wars.
8) Wasnt he advised by doctors before not to fight anymore having to do with an injury? He must need the money only reason I think anyone would risk it. 8)
I think it was a cyst, but he got his license back & was cleared to fight. In the last fight I saw him in he needed the ref to save him from himself. Larios was punishing him. I don't think he has anything more to prove. He will always be remembered as one of the best chins ever!Quote:

Wow i didn't think he would be back i respect him the guy has granite chin but i don't he should comeback.
He is a bit like Holyfield in that he loves to fight and needs to quit ASAP.
He has one of the best chins in boxing but should he becoming back i don't think so
Bad move for wayne last i heard he was financially sound, i guess the guy jus loves t fight as someone else has said.
Let him fight if he wants it, he seems to have his wits still after all those shots. If hes cleared then whats the problem? He should test himself with a warm-up and go from there. I would love to see the Pocket Rocket in action again.And hes fighting in Ireland on a Bernard Dunne card..could just be a farewell tour.
He is too old and inactive to be a main player. Hopefully it is just a final fight or 2 at a lower level to see him out. :-\
8) I would love to see The Pocket Rocket back in the mix too but I dont think its a good move. Im glad to hear his money situation is sound and its just he misses doing what he did best back in the day. I also wish him luck! 8)
Great to see wayne coming back to the ring. The man loves the sport too much. He's fighting on the undercard of bernard dunnes next defence in june.
