Which 38 year old Heavyweights could have beaten the Klitschko of the Lewis fight??

James Toney, Evande Holyfield, Ray Mercer, Lennox Lewis

 

So is Vitali.

 

Again, Mercer was injured for 36-38 and barely fought two cans before he contracted hepatits B at 38 and was forced out of boxing for 20 months!!!!...Is everyone in general on ****ing crack. :nut

 

A 38 year old Sonny Liston wouldn't have a shot in hell at beating that Vitali, even if his age happened to be a few years understated.

 

That makes him even more dangerous.

 

I suppose he could throw blood at him from his hospital bed.

 

Lennox Lewis, George Foreman, Larry Holmes... Holyfield would have trouble landing clean effective headbutts because Vitali is too tall. Maybe McCall could have an outside chance. His titanium chin and decent power could keep him in there long enough maybe to get a lucky break. The only other heavies who fought well into and beyond their late 30's were smaller guys.

 

Well at 38, Tyson looked like a beast for 1 1/2 rounds prior to shredding his knee (with a little of that ferociousness w/ the injury) vs Danny Williams. Yes I know Tyson always was a good starter even at an advanced age and I know it was only a round or two with Danny Williams, etc etc but he looked particularly viscious ( I think still w/ Freddie Roach at the time). If Tyson were fit enough to avoid that type of injury (which is a big question I know), he would make a fight w/ 32 yo Vitaly very interesting at least for a few rounds
