    Boxrec has him at 45. I think that's about right. I think he'd beat bum inflated boxrec guys ahead of him like Wazrick, Grejaga, Carman, but lose to some guys with loses to good comp below him like Pianeta and Chambers.

    Worse than he was ten years ago, and back then he still wasn't top 10 material.

    Barely top 100. Scrub of a heavyweight who got decisioned by 9-9 fields 16 years and ko'd Wilson 20 years ago.

    The man has been a corpse since about 2005

    He could take Pianeta out.

    When was his last fight?

    He should go on a Foreman tour facing cans each month for a few months if he really wanted to make a go.

    I would say top-50, but I have no doubt his power is still there, so he could upset a few guys who are ranked higher than him.

    Slowed and lacking stamina, obviously, but that is expected for most who hit 44

    Given age and his current ability , I think his name and his tenacious mouthing will be what earns him another big-money fight


    I doubt he would be able to "do the foreman plan" and fight his way to a big money fight as he would get beaten in the process by a decent B (or C) level opponent

    What he is doing now is his best chance to cash in; show up at press conferences, keep his name out there, and keep running his mouth in an overbearing style as only he can lol
