Should "prospects" like TOS and Tony Thompson, who are older than half the guys on that list, be added as well?
David Tua, Hasim Rahman and Shannon Briggs shouldnt be on the seniors tour list yes they have been around a long time but at only 34/35 they are still 3/4 years away from being on that list IMO.
Yeah, I'll stick Golota on. The point of the list was to has guys that had been around the division for a long time...and 34/5 ain't no spring chicken either, even these days. Rahman has been a pro fighter for 13 years, Briggs and Tua 15. That sure should like a veteran to me.
Nice work. How long did that take you? There's so many of them that some should be forced to fight each other to weed out the contenders & the pretenders. Too much to hope for I'm afraid. :-(
I agree, unless he needs the money, which I doubt. No one should ever spite a guy who just wants to earn a living. Many of these older fighters never quite got that really big payday.
It was original meant to be Seldon taking on that guy in Sweden. When he pulled out, Mercer stepped in...I think he's just after paydays now rather than hoping for a title challenge.
After recent results, time for an update! ===ACTIVE LIST=== Michael Grant (42-3), 35 years old.

Right. I can't see putting 34 year old fighters on a *seniors list*. I wouldn't even put a 36 year old fighter on there, either. I think 37 and up, but certianly not a fighter a mere 34 years old. But anyway, critiques aside, good info. Thanks.:good
