March 16th in New York on the undercard of Andy Lee Vs Antwun Echols, Wayne's just looking for something bad to happen, of all the fighters that should be retired and continue to fight on, he's probably one of the ones that worries me the most, the dude made a career on his chin, if he continues to do so, it'll end up in tragedy, he's lost 3 in a row, 2 to Oscar Larios, and then to a nobody in Juan Ruiz, who by the way was on his own 3 in a row losing streak:eek:
one of the great all time irish fighters ruining a hard earned legacy just for the sake of a few extra bucks.
Shame he couldnt of got the dunne fight as he would of actually had a half a squeak of winning that.
Anything else is just sad to see really:(
the thing is i don't think he's doin it for the money, i think he actually just wants to fight, in an other interview he had said his family is already secure, and i remember him bein a part time boxing writer and writing very good articles, meaning he already has another means of making moneyQuote:

He shouldn't fight anymore.
hell it's Larios who looks a lot sharper and i don't think even he should be fighting after the sever beating that Linares gave him, cause the bleeding on the brain
As bad as it may sound who wouldn't want to watch this guy. I will be worried for him but if he comes out ok then who cares. Fighter's have to fight to make a living. I to don't think he should be fighting but it is his choice and I'll back him.
He has a heart, chin and work rate but not a big puncher and not world class. I will still support him.
He's working for UFC in England too. Some boxers just can't give it up. I remember him getting battered senseless by Scott Harrison for twelve rounds and his wife giving a defiant interview after the fight saying he'd be back. Neither of them appear to know when it's time for him to retire.
Man, it's really sad to see when a fighter doesn't know when to say when.
I agree Larios should not be fighting anymore either.
McCullough is solid brass and guts.But he should definatly call it a day.I believe he has done some good work outside of the ring,commentator and corner work.I think this is a case of a very proud man carrying national pride on his shoulders as well.
Echols is one of the sloppiest but threating guys in recent memory,hes on the other side but I think he has a live chance with Lee.
that's what i'm saying, he's already paid his dues, he had a great career, i mean he wasn't ever really one of the greatest fighters of his time, but he made up for that with his warrior spirit and willingness to stay in there and even finish the fight, making whoever he was fighting earn his win, make him work for it, never in a boring fight and always gave the fans their money's worth, has plenty of other opportunities without the gloves on, hope he chooses that path soonQuote:

Good fighter, but not in the world class category. I'd be surprised if he adds anything of great note to his record.
Fully agree,should have many oppurtunitys out of the ring.Really a sharp guy but the wars have a way of catching up suddenly.Awesome scraps w/Morales,Zaragoza,Larios,also Bueno and Rabanales but I thought he got a bit lucky on the card in those two Imo.Man,the bombs he walked through with Hamed were scary.Quote:

As much as I love him, boxing again is only a way to get into further problems and to get endangered. HE used to have Roach as trainer, Roach had a few extra fights he shouldn't have had and is now caught with Parkinson, it should light a little light in his head saying "no matter how much that's what you want, look at Freddie, your mentor and learn from that, do not repeat his mistake to end up with something terrible as Parkinson". IF I would be the Commission, I think I would forbid boxers like him, the Real Deal or Bowe to ever fight again for their very well being.
