    Oliver Mccall is making a comeback at 54 years old. He is fighting May 10th. If he wins maybe Wilder will fight him. He beat Lennox Lewis and Holmes.

    The WBC is almost as much of a joke as the Wba.

    I wonder if he still can take a punch? He had a great chin.

    He’s rated 98 in the world at 54 years old. Respect!

    He's still a kid compared to Ortiz

    I genuinely would give him a punchers chance against the like of molina, spilzka, Lucas browne.

    That chin is granite and he can punch

    54 years old though. The dude should be fishing and drinking beer.

    Thing is he’s better than his son even although he’s 54. Let the man box. Get a fight with briggs, take out wilder.

    There's something that I didnt know when I started boxing. If you start boxing, you will always be a boxer, ALWAYS. It doesnt matter how many years since the last time you trained, it doesn't matter if you were good or a bum, you cant stop being a boxer, you will always have this sport inside you.

    Once I've said that, dude.... 54 is too old for a comeback, it doesnt matter how good you are... he should have never come back. Is it even legal to fight at 54?
