Allison Fisher or Jean Balukas?

It would be nice Jimmy, however, what chance would Jean really have at this stage of her career to come back after 20 years against the very formidable champion who's at the apex of her careeer? Jean would need to go into training for months, not weeks. I don't think her competitive fires burn that brightly at this stage of her life to entice her to go thru all she would have to for this dream match to be competitive.

The other thing is after this long a period of time, she must have been asked a gazillion times to come back. I'm sure she's mused this over in her head many times over the years. If she's not made a comeback when she was still in her "prime' years, I think there's little hope she would at this later stage.

I think she's satisfied with her status and the great way she is remembered. If she came back and lost (as the odds would be) wouldn't that somewhat tarnish her legacy, at least a little in the eyes of some fans. The way it is now, she's in a no lose sitituation. Her legacy is secure.
All that being said, wouldn't it be great if she did!


This is so true.

She'd need the motivation and probably TWO years on the tour, to reach her level and to beat Allison. You need your tournament routine back to compete at your level.

Do you remember what happened to Mike 'The Mouth' Siegel at Orlando at KOTH?
He ran 8 pack in practise, and then in the finals as he was cold, Efren murdered him. And Efren didn't play that well, Mike had MANY chances, he just couldn't make two balls in a row.

Efren got lucky though.. :p
