Nacho said 3 requirements would need to be met for them to work, money, yearlong diet, never miss a training camp.

I put Chavez at 0-3 of those demands.

He can get any trainer he wants. He'll never become a good boxer.

Told ya guys Arce wouldnt retire, this sport is far to engraved in his blood. As I've always said, it's all these guys know, without boxing, what is there to do? It's a drug, nothing else can satisfy the feeling even walking the ring in a prize fight.

Former four division world champion Jorge 'Travieso' Arce (61-7-2, 46KOs) admits that he is fighting an internal urge to have one more fight. Arce announced his retirement on December 15th,*after*getting knocked out in the third round by WBO super bantamweight champion*Nonito Donaire.*Arce, 33-years-old, wants to have*a farewell fight in Tijuana - where he began his pro career*on January 19,*1996.

"I want to walk down the aisle from the*locker room to the ring one final time, and get that*feeling of a fight*for the last time. Since I announced my retirement, I have not been able to sleep.*However, all of the people who love me are telling me not to fight again," Arce said.

Given that, 'how long you think Pavlik will stay "retired"?

Paulie vs Maidana trying to be set up by both fighters

Hard to tell with him, you dont get the feeling he's loved boxing over the last bunch of years. He's also an alcoholic who has more than enough money to drink for the rest of his life. I could see him accepting that life. If the payday presented itself he would probably take it though, I knew his retirement was coming soon when he accepted the ward fight. He just wanted the $.

In other news, Bradley Vs gamboa is in negotiations.

Pacquiao likely fighting outside of US (heard Dubai, Singapore or Manila)

[Unbelievable650]

Lucas Matthysse destroyed Dallas Jr.

[Raps08-09 Champ]

He wants Garcia next. If that happens, that'll be FOTY or KOTY.

[AddiX]

Very impressive win by Lucas.
