Yes, it is a bit of a mystery. I heard a couple of months back he was scheduled to make his comeback on the Cardiff bill, then I read he was looking for a new trainer after sacking Kenny Croom, and now it's gone quiet.
I'm sure allegedly's website would have announced something about his comeback by now if he was fighting. But I will ask around.

Cheers Bennie, it will be interesting to see how he comes back after his loss to Scott Harrison, & to see if he stays at featherweight or most likely return to super-bantam

McCoy likes Wayne as a fighter, & hopes he bounces back well

He's definitely staying at feather, McCoy. That much I do know.

Man, thats a bad move

Realistically, what top fighter is he capable of beating at featherweight?

Not too many

He would definately be better off fighting at his natural weight :(

Yeah, I agree with McCoy - McCullough should move to his weight. He did contemplate a fight with Guzman (as opposed to Harrison) which shows he can still make the weight.

With Pacquiao at 126, there is still a chance Wayne could capture a belt at 122.

Another question about Wayne, I remember him with Eddie Futch for most of his career, for obvious reasons he's was with Kenny. I'm just wandering has Kenny always been on the scene. I do find it odd that Wayne would change coach. Perhaps he did want to be pulled out! But that is unlike any boxer.

I'm pretty sure I read Wayne was off the Calzaghe bill (and never on the Hatton one). Not sure why though.

Hope he somehow keeps clear of the big punchers - it's fighters like Wayne, who can take punches all night long, that pay for it in the long run.

I don't want to see him take another 12 round beating like the last one - And his wife looks one of the bravest managers going - at ringside she didn't even blink..
And he has a very brave corner too.

Very true, Stu, He's better off at one twenty two
As opposed to one twenty six, where he wouldnt be in the mix

You are right mighty one, & as for Wayne's wife, it looked like she was watching Father Ted with the happy smile she had on her face during the fight

Very strange, eh?

His Wife caught him cheating on her, and that's why she enjoyed watching seven coulours of shite getting beat out of him....

Just a theory, but would explain a lot eh?; 0-)

I want to see Wayne retire and go into training Irish amatuers.

With the whiskers he has and his disregard for defence he could easily end up punchy - not a nice thought for an olympic silver medalist/ professional world champ
