Hiya fella's. Seeing as this is out in the open through social networking, and the fact it's made a topic, I may as well give you the lowdown.

When I retired it was at a point when various factors combined took me to the stage where I had enough. Injuries after injuries (shoulders, Achilles, hip, back...), struggles with the weight (my own fault, greedy b@stard!) and feeling like no matter what I did I couldn't get a world title shot, added to that the scan thing, and my head wasn't in a very good place going into my last fight.

Fast forward two years, and I'm injury free (at the moment!), rested, fitter and lighter than I ever was I between fights (12st 3.5 now without dieting compared to 13st 5-6lb when fighting AAARRRGGGHHH!!) and I've fell back in love with it.

Now listen, I feel like I'm a pretty sensible lad, and I promise u if I thought I wasn't at least as good as I was before (forget last fight as mentally wasn't there) then I wouldn't even contemplate fighting again. I wouldn't ruin what I've already achieved.

I've been training for 4 weeks now including a week in Tenerife and a week in Portugal with Brian Rose, and I feel great at the minute, but if my injuries start creeping back or instep up the sparring and I don't feel like its still there then I WILL NOT FIGHT AGAIN. I'm doing this now because I feel like I still can, and I don't want to live my life wondering "I wonder what would have happened if I'd have gave it one last go when I was still young enough and I'd been on those training camps in 2012?". It would drive me mad. I'm giving myself another 4 weeks or so where I'll step my training up again and see if 1) I still want it 2) I've still got it and 3) my injuries don't come creeping back. If alls good I'll seriously contemplate giving it one last bash, as I haven't made my mind up either way yet as I don't want disappointment. If the wheels fall off in the meantime, then at least I'll know for the rest of my life that I tried. I can live with that.

I can certainly understand your point of view, good luck whatever you decide.

I started reading this thread and my first instinct was 'please don't do it'.

I've read on and my thoughts are 'go on Jamie'.

Top man Jamie and I hope it goes well.

I think you'll have all the support in the world on here

All the very best Jamie, take your time, only you will know if it's right or wrong.
Top man.

Agree with this post. Just catching up with this weeks Ringside, Jamie looked hungry as Bobby Rimmer put him through it. Hearns eyes lit up

Best of luck, Jamie. Will be supporting you. Warrior.

If it is to be LM, surely sparring with Brian Rose will tell Jamie all he needs to know.

all the very best to ya mr moore..

You will know when the time is right to retire, as you sound like a sensiable lad.

Best to get that itchy bug out of your head and give it another good shot.

You will know in your first couple of come back fights, if you still got it or not.
