    Everybody speaks about this fight.

    Wonder if it will be a 1M+ PPV

    When he fights Charr he'll be a little older than Foreman was when he fought Moorer. It crazy he's still fighting, well I say fighting in the loosest sense of the term he hasn't fought in over 4 years.

    Can't ****ing believe Fres is still around and somehow relevant. Talk about a generational gap.

    I think relevant is a big word here, unless he somehow wins and gets himself in the WBA title (Joshua) mix.

    Which isn't particularly unlikely, he's facing Charr. :lol:

    I'm happy to see ol' Fres get one last chance, as few fighters have been screwed over more than he has. But, should he beat Charr he should not be seen as breaking Foreman's record. This is no world title fight. This is an undercard fight at best. I hope Oquendo wins, but it won't compare to Foreman's accomplishment.

    To be fair to Fres he didn't force being sidelined for four years. The WBA tried to screw him out of a contractually obligated title fight he refused to give up on. If the WBA had honored their contract instead of taking Oquendo to court he'd've already fought for the title.

    I don't hold it against Fres. It's probably his last chance at any form of a title. He's too old to screw about with this one.

    Dave Allen is more deserving of a WBA "title" fight than this guy.

    At his age, his new nickname should be Fast-enough Fres?:)

    If you look at the guys Fres has fought it's like having a living link to the boxing world of the 90's. McCall, Tua, Byrd, Ruiz, Holyfield, Toney etc.

    Having waited all this time I'm rooting for him. War Oquendo!

    I don’t know about you guys, but I’m more than ready to see Fres become the oldest heavyweight champ ever.
