Who do you guys think is the likely new opponent for Kostya in his recently announced return.

Thanks

my understanding was he said there was a less than fifty percent chance of him returning...have I missed something ?? He could wait to see how Fenech goes and challenge him (joking).

i think he said that the offer would have to be big for him to contemplate it.

i really hope he thinks twice about it. I wouldn't want to see him come back and get destroyed and i wouldn't like to see him come back and fight some bus for the $$$.

I am pretty sure that Kostya will not fight again, but does not want to say it is over.

Hatton at welter ?? I like Tszyu in this one (but I liked him in the first)..

More garbage. Just retire Kostya, and be done with the acual fighting part of the game

mayweather or the golden boy would probably be his options as already stated above he makes alot of money out of the ring... i beleive a prime tszyu could topple mayweater but a 38 year old version?

Considering that Kostya did not announce a comeback and said that there was less than a 50% chance of him fighting again, let's forget it.

I hope so but it has been a quiet time recently so there is bound to be talk...

Now Kostya is going to box an exhibition with action movie hero Jackie Chan as part of the advertising campaign for the Beijing Olympics.

Some fool on Fox Sport described it as a "bout", but with mixed rules it would have to be an exhibition.

Could be fun to watch.

It will be fun to watch and will probably finish in a "hammed" up draw.

Jackie like Kostya carries an Australian passport and has based his knock about action based comedy skills on old-timers like Buster Keaton and Harold LLoyd.

Kostya's, from what I have seen has a wry sense of humour and will be a good foil for Jackie.

It is only an exhibition to advertise the Beijing Olympics (for God's sake, Jackie is in his fifties!). Some anonymous dickhead in the Sun Herald today called it a "stunt", but if you knew your arse from your elbow you would never get a job with that rag.
