haha, well if his knees hold up maybe he can mount a comeback.

You'd have to fancy him over Shannon Briggs at least :P

I wander if this will pursuade Big George to come back again?

I'd actually have a serious wager on him winning a title again, I mean the guy ain't even 60 yet!

[Canvasback]

Sad, very sad, not the comeback, but the possibility that he could probably beat some of the guys out there now.

His last fight was in 1995, and he was Koed in 2 rounds by a guy with a 5-16 record who is now 13-86.. This is just pathetic, even though it says hes only fighting an exhibition. 62?!? Does my head in.

Maybe Tarver can call him out :P

It is a futile and pointless exercise....means nothing really

No way, Tarver doesn't deserve a big name opponent until he works his way back up the ladder.

The last thing i read about him he was working on the door at Yates wine lodge on the Wirral, Liverpool. I remember thinking " ever out in liverpool no lipping at the bouncers, especially Yates"

He must have married a scouse bird an settled over here.

[BoomBoom]

Its only an exhibition. Joe Frazier just recently did the same thing. It was a fundraser though and he wasnt trying to show the young guys "how its done"

[motorcitycobra]

All I'm saying is watch out Briggs an keep that big chin down

[landmine950]

I think he saw Wlad Klitschko getting KO'd every time he got "tapped" on his chinachin and figures he could get a belt pretty easily!
The "acorn" could whack both Klitschkos out with one punch![youtube=425,350]vns_JUaVQls[/youtube]
