    Bit of a shame he couldn't make a proper go of a comeback, the skills are there but think there was something missing mentally. Bit of a waste getting in to drink and the rest but anything can go on in another mans head. Best of luck to him but I guarantee we will see him back in the ring when the money dries up and his life goes quiet be that 1 year or or many years from now.

    He doesn't strike me as the type of bloke to build another career or stay away from drink long enough to keep on the straight and narrow. Hope I'm wrong.

    Fair play and good luck to him.

    Ward is now stuck in no mans land.

    Didn't see this coming. I'd be willing to bet he'll be right back though.

    Smart move by Kelly, quit while you still have your wits about you. I hope he made enough from boxing to last a lifetime.

    Me too! When they retire like this it means they're done, don't have the drive, heart or whatever any more and should move on. Good luck!

    I think he'll be back too. I don't think he was the same boxer anymore. His tuneup fights after he came back were awful and I was expecting him to make one last big payday and retire. I think he was too. Then the payday against Ward vanished and Bute is now not going to fight him so no last big payday. Hopefully he hangs on to his money and stays off the drink and doesn't have to fight again but it's more likely than not that we see him again at some point.

    I was shocked to read this but it is the right thing. Kelly seems to have lost something mentally, and I didn't see him achieving much at 168. Fighting Ward was obviously just a retirement plan.

    If you read the artical posted hes invested his money wisely in property, comercial property at that, so he will now always have an income.

    Too many boxers seem to think the big money fights will always come in and the money wont run out the way they spend it. Alot of managers must be real cunts. They can see that the lad aint all there and has nothing going for him other than boxing but dont advise them to talk to someone about putting money away or investing it.

    Blah blah blah. Most fighters have no effing clue what retirement means. When the money runs out The Ghost will return.

    I'm not impressed by that really. Pavlik has seen two big fights slip by and he isn't willing to work to keep a winning streak going with his new trainer? I don't get it, why would you do that? There has to be something going on with Pavlik.

    I heard him in an interview a few months ago sounding drunk and bitter about things and this sounds random too and so I wouldn't be surprised if he is just drunk and bitter again.

    There is no need to retire. He is still a very good boxer and there are fights to be won. He seems to be of the idea that it is a big pay day or nothing. You have to work towards that when you have fallen. He isn't Ricky Hatton with a mammoth fanbase. He has to work at things, it seems he just doesn't want to do that.
