Fair play to him, he was a really good fighter not so long ago, boxing has been a big part of his life for a long long time. Does anyone know which weight he's coming back at and his aims?

Middleweight.

Cheers, that sounds plenty reasonable. I liked to watch Rhodes, I prefered the later model and the Lockett and Moore bouts were exceptional. Best of luck to him though I imagine his friends and family feel like banging their heads against the wall - going through it all again.

Good luck to Ryan.

Wow hardly earth shattering. Doubt anyone's that excited. I mean he did well, got quite far, but is hardly a household name

You're missing the point, Reg.

Ryan was only a point down against Canelo at the time of the stoppage.

Canelo then drew with Mayweather (according to one of the judges).

Therefore Ryan Rhodes is 2nd or 3rd best Pound for Pound Fighter in the World.

I'm so excited I've been playing all my old Spice Girl records at full blast (which is really pissing off my Mexican neighbours. I'll tell you what they don't want, what they really, really don't want)

When Twenty Six on Boxrec retired he meant it.
This is all news to me.

How do you feel about it?

Ryan isn't making a comeback, it's all a joke

I for one cannot help but be excited at the prospect of a "new age boxing fan", simply on the grounds that boxing's reaching new demographics. I assume mullenman wears tie-dye, spouts annoying bullshit about homeopathy, crystals & reiki & has a soul-patch.

Well done, Matchroom, for reaching out to this heretofore under-represented segment of the boxing public.

I wouldn't be surprised. For instance, I doubt he was doing hard rounds with Cotto in the run up to Martinez, there was no mention on Twitter, and it didn't seem like Ryan to be so annoyed with Kugan. Maybe it was to deflect who really is coming back.

Why waste people's time then? People who've bought tickets and followed his career?

People on here believing it

So he came out and said he was making a comeback and the big joke is that people believed him? Even though nobody seems particularly excited at the prospect?

Seems a bit weird. As far as jokes go, I don't think Bobby Davro has anything to worry about

Bobby Davro has plenty of things to worry about. Ryan Rhodes isn't one of them.

That sounds more likely

I was hoping for Tom Cannon.

Perhaps he could shed some light on the vegan/protein question which recently arose.

Can you become a prime athlete on a legume based diet :surprised:

How did the Cotto sparring come about? How did Rhodes get on over there?

Think Ryan's a little deluded (no offense as I love him) that really misses boxing. He fell short both times he fought for a title. It's never gonna get that good again. Noone would dare stick him in with GGG and Quallin beats him for sure
