Maybe not. The longer Wayne continues the more chance there is that eventually the amazing chin that he has won't be there for him anymore. I'd hate to see him finish his career being knocked out by someone he'd have a had a better than fair chance of beating whilst in his prime.
Like you, I would prefer McCullough to concentrate on being on the other side of the ropes now. And also I'd like to think that after Molitor's excellent display against Hunter, he'd be looking at someone other than an inactive, and sad to say it, faded Wayne McCullough.
In a way it would be better if Wayne's chin WOULD desert him. Part of the problem is that he is so hard to stop that he takes a neural beating in every single fight he has at top level.
He is a popular choice of opponent, because he isn't the sort to spoil, hold and run, and without much head movement, opponents are made to look like destroyers as they tee-off on his forward moving chin which is always open for business.
If Wayne wants to continue, further title shots are not a good move, he isn't going to get any better, and he hasn't the punch power to turn around a fight at the weight he now fights at.
Wayne is a hard hard man, but many hard men before him have ended up walking in gimpy legs, slurring their words, or in a wheelchair being patted on the back at ex-boxers association dinners. It's wayne's life of course, but there's a hell of a lot of it left when he retires.
