Don't let Ken put his life on the line

I assume I'm not alone in saying I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Ken Buchanan say he wanted to make a comeback.

There are people far more qualified than me to analyse the whys and the hows, but it tugged at my heart-strings to hear him say it was the only way he could earn a living.

Worse still to hear because of the back injuries he'd suffered over the years he's on pain killers for the rest of his life and shouldn't even be in a gym let alone a ring.

Yet Ken wants to become the oldest former world champion to ever comeback at the age of 64 (he's 64 in June).

Of course no one wants to see one of our all-time greats hurt so how could this be allowed? Well it won't, not officially.

An amazing fight, I would like to see another between these two warriors. Although cotto is my fav boxer, he was in trouble at times and when Clottey beat his chest and started smiling at Cotto, it reminded me of when he hit Margueritto with his hardest shot and didn't hurt him and it made me think here we go again!

Will Calzaghe ever come out of retirement?
