He's geniuinely likeable, and one has to believe he can have a very successful career as a coach of young fighters. As for the comeback itself, I wouldn't set my expectations too high, and the danger remains that he might once again become deluded and/or misled into thinking he can hang with the "big boys" again. Those days are clearly over. Physically he's definitely in shape, although I couldn't help noticing that he looks a bit haggard. That may be due to the constant ups and downs in his weight, or it may be due in part to some of the off-the-ring struggles he's had.
