Comments Thread For: Mormeck vs Rahman Falls Apart, Fight is Off

Surprised that Rahman is still fighting.

He's still only age 37.

That's some seven years younger than Oliver McCall who is 45 and nearly 11 years younger than Evander Holyfield, who is 48 now.

I'm not surprised Rahman is still fighting, but I am surprised McCall and Holyfield haven't retired by now.

There were days when fighters weren't "only" 37. It used to be pretty old for a fighter, and still is. McCall and Holyfield are absolutely ancient but we know they have money problems, not sure about Rahman.

It's mostly that Rahman hasn't been a true top rater in years, yet he keeps campaigning on despite already having been gifted a title shot and a payday as a late replacement. Took a fairly bad and thoroughly one-sided beating in the process as well. I imagined that he would have called it a day after that.

Does anyone care?
