Comebacking HW tracker

If they've fought in the last 2 years or so, they're on this list...all of these guys are also 35+ or will turn 35 this year. If you hear of any solid news about anyone else coming back, such as the vague rumours about Buster Douglas, gimme a link and then I can add them on this list. Any confirmation about Tua's next fight would be great too. This is in chronological order, pro boxing fights only.

========================================

 

Thank you.

I left Bowe on the list, even though he last fought 2 years 2 months ago, because he's possibly daft enough to have another fight even with what happened against Zumbrun. If I haven't heard anything in the next few months, I'll take him off.

 

Damn, of course you're right...I'll add him on!

The Tuaman - there was a thread here about it. I haven't heard any confirmation yet though.

I heard about Witherspoon too, as soon as we hear about a fight I'll put it up there.

My plan is just to keep this thread updated, so if anyone suddenly wakes up in a blind panic in the night screaming "I must know when Michael Moorer is fighting next!!!"...they might find it here.

 

Updated the list with some more 'old timers'...Byrd, Sanders and McCline (since they've all fought recently), and Ruiz because he's rumoured/threatened to come back soon.

 

And now Bowe is back on the 'fight sceduled' list...

 

Okay now...Grant adds to his win column with a TKO5 over Zumbrun, so he shuffles into the 'waiting for a fight date' group.

Next up, the Night of the Living Dead (or at least Saturday of the Living Dead), as Savarese, Holyfield, Donald and Akinwande all gear up for their fights on June 30th.
