Veteran Heavyweights

Post by Palimpsest. »

Jeremy Williams (40) came back after 5 years to beat the 19 – 31 –1 Travis Fulton (DQ3) for the WBU Heavyweight ‘title’.

James Toney (44) loses to Lucas Browne for the WBF ‘title’ and requires 30 stitches to a cut mouth.

Oliver McCall (48) loses an 8 round decision to Krzysztof Zimnoch. Zimnoch is now looking a Evander Holyfield (50) as his next opponent.

Danny Williams (39) weighing in at over 20st loses a 10 round decision to a very reluctant Kelvin Price. This was Williams seventh consecutive loss and he now scheduled to meet Dominic Negus (June 22nd) in a ‘unlicensed’ fight over 8 x 2 minute rounds.

Frans Botha (44) is stopped in 2 rounds by 5 fight novice Joseph Parker. This was Botha’s fifth consecutive loss (3 inside distance)

Riddick Bowe (45) after 5 years inactivity loses in 2 rounds to Levgen Golovin in a Muay Thai bout.

Sad.

Michael Grant lost last month to the same dude that stopped Botha last year.

Mo Harris is still fighting.

I'm waiting for the collective comeback of David Izon, Jimmy Thunder & Mike "The Bounty" Hunter.

Thanks I forgot all about Grant he (40) he was stopped in 8 by Carlos Takam for (another) WBF title.

With the 6 names I mentioned and Grant there is nearly enough for a Veteran Heavyweight Prizefighter (I'm sure Holyfield would jump at the last place?)

Careful, I've been called names today for questioning the validity of the WBU title.

Well Hunter is dead, and Izon and Thunder are suffering from badly with brain damage, so it's unlikely they will be back.

I was specifically questioning the original one, because people were suggesting that the new ones didn't have much credibility, which sounded to me a bit like the old one ;)

Has Skelton retired now? 46
Or Monte Barrett? 42
Or Martin Rogan? 42
Or Maskaev? 44

They've all fought quite recently.

Fres Oquendo fought a week ago. 40
Tony Thompson fights in 2 weeks. 41

I'm sure Rahman is due another world title shot soon. 40

And of course there's old man Vitali who has said he will fight again. 41

Seems it's not a young man's game any more.

From what i remember Hunter was shot in a police chase, wasn't it on a rooftop and he was unarmed.
Thunder is in Las Vegas going by reports, and has been in severe financial problems, ending up living on the streets. There are several stories that he's now got some work and is sorting himself out. But in a recent news story i saw they couldn't find him again in Las Vegas, and he may be back on the streets.
