You'd think he'd know now that any half decent domestic heavyweight knocks him silly. It's his brain I suppose.

His ambitions would soon be going up in smoke.

I can't see why anyone would want him on their bill. I've certainly lost any respect I had for him and I imagine others feel the same. He obviously didn't care about the sport and even with the PED's, he was still a low level domestic fighter.

I think is clear that he won't ever rise to the cream of the domestic HWs so i don't think the needle he'd get from boxing fans would be worth it.

I'dbe surprised, from recollection I'm sure he confessed to nearly a dozen differing peds over his career and the book was thrown at him? It would set a pretty bad example to backdown.

It made me laugh that so many were so shocked he was on gear - from his pro debut it was so obvious the guy wasn't exactly 100% natural - how the bbbofc gave him a license without a thorough investigation is the biggest joke of all.
He came across as a nice guy and I'm sure he is, but if he's coming back I hope he does it properly and not on some unlicensed show for a few quid which would mean he doesn't really give an f about the sport, the fans, the ban etc.
In fairness the list of heavyweights not on gear would probably be much shorter than a list of the ones that are IMO

I liked big larry, but am not sure how genuine his nice guy act is. Acted a bit of a twat once it was out.
