Ex World champ's brother in surprise comeback.

Post by stujones »

What do you guys make of the boxer's below return. I was surprised when he retired but am concerned that he is returning after such a long layoff (nearly 6 years).

I wonder what are is inncentives are? At leasy he is not ancient (33) and is seems to be basing himself in the states and taking things slowly with his comeback.

Not the talent of his brother, but a good fighter and I wish him well.

Anybody know any more details about this return.

Those still guess who I am going on about, there is the link below.

Pascal Collins or Matthew Hatton arn't as talented as their brothers granted. but why shouldn't they compete to see how far they can go.

What you are saying is that no boxer should compete unless they can be competitive at the highest level.

My brother played a high level of football, but should that stop me from playing at a low level. No of course not, so neither of these 2 boxers should be slated for trying to their best at their chosen sport

I think Matthew isn't getting enough due, sure he is never going to be world champion - but he is pushing the top ten at Welter and I don't think it is beyond imagination of him winning a lonsdale belt. That would take more than an ounce of talent.

I had a similar perception of Paschall before he stopped, also Steve really found his form when he reached his thirties and seemed to be getting better and better when he retired. Perhaps, Paschall would be similar in that respect - he was only 27/28 when he last fought.
