Kosta won't come back, there's nothing for him out there. If he tried to make a go of it at 147 he would be swallowed.
Tito coming back? Who cares? :cwm33:
If Lewis came back there would be massive interest. A potential future showdown with either Klitschko brother for the undisputed heavyweight title could well rival Oscar and Floyd in the PPV stakes and would be a massive shot in the arm for boxing.
Tito would just bring further embarrassment to himself if he came back. Same for Kosta.
CC there baggins..
Good psoting and logic... for once:p
Thankyou there buddy I think :-\ :P
cc returned

Ho-hum....
Some things never change.
Yeah but how many comebacks can one guy have?
If he did comeback again the only calibre fighters he would have a chance at beating would be the winner of Vargas Mayorga.
I don't care to see Trinidad vs Mayorga 2....do you? ???
How many comebacks did Sugar Ray Leonard have? For that matter, boxing is the "sport of comebacks", is it not? Then what sets Tito apart? And no...... I see no point in Trinidad-Mayorga II. But there's other fish to fry at 160. Tito lost to BHop and Winky. He beat Joppy, Mayorga and Cherifi. IMO, he handled 160 better than say... Oscar. Who else can he beat at 160? I don't know. Maybe Taylor... maybe Miranda... maybe Pavlik. Who's to know?

Yes but I would be more than happy to see Oscar hang up his gloves and become a man of the cloth spreading the Good News about Himself ;)
In fact I would postively rejoice that he was gone although his imminent Canonisation would doubtless make me :puke:
But seriously Tito still has the right to come back and make some money. He may be a decent name for an up and comer like John Duddy but I personally won't be getting excited one way or the other. I'm sure there are many fighters that could come back who you wouldn't care to see either,

Fair enough. BTW..... if there's one thing we tend to see eye to eye on, it's what I bolded (LOL).
Re: Biggest impact on return? Lewis, Tszyu or Tito?
The biggest impact should depend on the opponent also. If Lenox returns to fight Wladimir or may be if Vitali returns for a rematch, will have a great impact. But, may not be the same if he comes back to fight some other HW. In the case of Tszyu a rematch with Hatton does not cause me a lot of excitement because I think Hatton will dominate even easier an older Tszyu. However, a come back to fight Judah may be more interesting.
In the case of Tito, the biggest impact may be fighting De La Hoya, but the difficulty I see is to have King and De La Hoya agree $$$. Tito may have some other options such as Mosley or Taylor, even rematches with Hopkins or Wright. But, the fight I think he should not take, but probably will sell well, is RJJ. I have to admit that RJJ will be too heavy for Tito, and have all the advantage in this fight (and this is hard for me to admit). The best chances I see for Tito is, if RJJ accept to go to 168.
Re: Biggest impact on return? Lewis, Tszyu or Tito?
I don't think any of them would have much impact. The exception would be Lewis if he really got in shape and decided to fight three fights minimum per year for a couple of years. Just to come back for a fight or two would just make a momentary splash. I don't think either Tito or Kostya could do more than have a few entertaining fights; neither would dominate long enough (if at all) to redefine a weight class. Lewis, however, might be able to do that.

What else does boxing have? That coward Gayweather! Floyd won't fight Hatton or Cotto or Margaritto but he will fight oldman Oscar and nobody Baldomir lol
Gayweather? thats very mature of you. Floyd went upto 154 he started at Featherweight, alot of people thought we would and did get beat, that was a very dangerous fight.
Re: Biggest impact on return? Lewis, Tszyu or Tito?
Lennox Lewis coming back would be the biggest comeback in history . Moreso than a Tyson comeback .
Lewis returning would be news around the world . The other two ( Tszyu / Tito ) arent that big .
