Julio Ceasar Chavez has announced that he is to make two last fights before calling time on an illustrious career. His first fight will be on November the 22nd against Willy Wise. His final fight will be in January against TBA.
While he seems adamant that this is his final two fights, I think he can't say goodbye to the game and will be back for more. He mentioned that he would have loved to have won a Welterweight crown. Its quite possible that should he win these two fights a fight between himself and Mayorga might get Nevada approval.
Look at Thomas Hearns and Larry Holmes, both went on retirement tours, and although they haven't faught since - both have expressed their desire to comeback (Hearns especially is talking about winning a major cruiserweight belt).
Its just sad.
