I cannot see him reaching the heights he once reached. Why bother?
It would in the end just be a disappointment for him and us fans. As much as I miss seeing him fight, I have no desire to see him as another Holyfield being a shell of his former self. I hope he stays retired.
Age and inactvity, probably has to force himself to get out and train. stay retired I wouldn't want him hurt.
He already trains some.Quote:

Boxing News were talking about this guy's fight with Vince Phillips as Kostya's way of avenging defeat...which his boy did.
No way Warren puts Rees in with Tszyu.Quote:

Also,to be fair,I don't think he is 10% about coming back,I recall posting something similar to this about a year ago,possibly longer than that and here we are again. He should just stay retired,what reason is there for him to come back?

For me a Kostya comeback would be sad to see.
He was agreat fighter and he probably could beat many at 140 now, id favour him over Hopkins, Torres, Castillo and even Paulie. But he's old now, he's been damaged and i just hope he doesn't return and get himself hurt by a fighter who wouldn't have been fit to finish a round with him in his hay day.
Idon't think he should go out on a loss. 1 more fight, just to end on a high.
Kostya hasnt fought in how long and is nearly 40.
Kostya was a great. But there is little chance of him making it to the top again. Especially a guy from the smaller weights.
See if he did that, the hunger to continue would be too great. he would fight on, and eventually lose again.Quote:

I heard that the champ ICE COLD BOXING is there for the taking.

This is not a good idea.when a fighter says he needs to "find desire" that should set off red flashing alarms.
Tszyu Has nothing to prove and no one to answer to.He was a human highlight reel throughout career and until the end Imo never got respect he deserved.While other Guys have more padding than a teen girl on there early records Kostya in his 1st 15 had faced 5 past champs and some solid fighters (But he was given a gift in H.Lopez fight Imo),ok they were tattered and worn but good tests none the less.superb Amatuer experience as well. Stay retired champ.
Don't think I've lost me marbles but I'd give Kostya as good a chance as any of beating Mayweather, Cotto or Mosley. As for Paulie and Witter, they'd get knocked the fuck out.
