At this point it's laughable that Ippo still hasn't announced his return to the ring. I hadn't been reading this manga for over a year, to find out he's still struggling with himself.
I'm getting tired of seeing the other characters fight.

He also seems concerned with time. Is he dying? Afraid he'll be too old to fight?
At this point, Takamura is nearing 30, considering he still has a few weightclasses to go, each of them having title defenses. I doubt he has much room for delays in his plan to conquer them all.
