    Tarver. Tony Thompson will be 44 this year.

    Roy Jones Jr isn't good anymore, but he got a 8 win streak so he isn't shot as well.

    Maybe have a masters division where all the old people can fight each other.

    Nope. It will fall under age discrimination laws.

    He's defiantly not the same fighter that knocked out prime Mike Tyson.
