    The thing I'm having the hardest time wrapping my head around is... how the **** is Rahman only 53?:lol: I was watching him when I was in high school, and that was a long ****ing time ago.:lol:

    Tua couldn’t beat him 2/2 and needed a punch after the bell to beat him the first time. Rahman was whipping him first fight and deserved the nod in the rematch.

    Rahman vs Wlad, who’s shot to bits himself. As gunshy as Wlad is now, Rahman would probably win.

    Apparently it’s a 6 rounder now instead of a 10

    I expect a low grade fighter now as opposed to someone more lively due to the fight length change

    They should make a super six type tournament for geriatric heavyweights; Rahman, Ibeabuchi and McCall are naturally in, and Danny Williams could probably be coaxed out of retirement by promising him a purse of fifty quid and an out of date Freddo. In actuality Luis Ortiz is probably older than all the guys I have just mentioned so count him in, and to add to the whole circus aspect include Jake Paul as a wildcard. To round out the numbers I would include John Fury and Shannon Briggs.

    Luis Ortiz is old enough to be in the senior league if we use the calendar but safety wise no he is at too high a level. The other guys mentioned would be risking their lives fighting Ortiz.
