I don't think he actually wanted to retire. He started late in the game and if anyone is concerned about conditioning its him. And he's never been shit kicked. Maybe diapers are giving him the return rash but at least he's a guy that will fight anybody and its not as if he was shot. Perhaps he feels a genuine second wind. I hope he comes back at 175 and goads Stevenson the dandy into a fight. Maybe he'd get the winner of Pascal/Kovalev. Could also be about the money and feeling. Maybe he could scrap whats his name that won a tournament once close to 6 years ago and looks a little ripe for the taking.

This world needs more Carl Froch's not less.
