    Non-contact sparring, but still you can see how good (or bad) their reflexes are

    What's the end game off all this? Is Holyfield fighting exhibitions or summat?

    Wlad doesnt look too out of shape, holyfield looks old. Ability to throw a punch doesnt look too bad, but head movement, reactions all look very poor/non existent from what little you can extrapolate from this video

    I'm just stating the obvious. Many on here claiming the likes of Tyson and Holyfield could come back and wipe out much of the current top 50 from their impressive looking editted training reels.

    If he wants to train to keep fit then no issue. But I really hope never to see him back in a ring

    I think they can also 'fight' each other and make pretty good money for such exhibition fights. But the worst part of it is that a lot of very old fighters will think they can also returtn to the ring like it was after Geroge Foreman's successful comeback, when Ron Lyle, Ernie Shavers and others were coming back also. For example, Holyfield and Tyson can 'fight' each other in some kind of exhibition fight (or series of fights) and make a copule of $ millions and somebody like Oleg Maskaev will think: "Oh, I can do it as well!" And, of course, nobody will pay him for exhibitions, but some promoters might try to get the name, former champ to their young fighers records. It won't end well. At best it may look like this:

    Wlad could come back now and still be one of the top dogs.

    This is really a farce , if you saw Ruddocks dad bod training before this the guy couldn’t hit a heavy bag for anything. Mike Tyson is a different type of guy all together . Whoever thinks Holyfield, anyone nearing 60 is the same is lost . Even McCall who is still fighting isn’t comparable then you have Fres Oquendo ,who would be fighting for a title himself? Come on this is a joke comparing these guys to Mike .

    That’s the thing ,he can do it because he’s physically capable of. Anyone physically capable of it and passes a physical and has credibility like Mike Tyson should not be over looked. Ortiz didn’t even pass his physical in his first loss to Wilder .

    Had to check up on boxrec because didnt quite believe oliver mcall was still fighting. Unbelievable really. Been fighting since 1985. One seriously hard man.

    Pretty sure he is/was a crack addict or something like that...which makes it even more unbelievable.

    I think Wlads planning to come back in an attempt to break Formans record on winning the title at the oldest age


    Holy is also planning to attempt to come back

    so they are both planning to come back and are helping each other
