another comebacking HW from the late 89's /early 90's.he had a solid career but was kind of a gatekeeper type.he had some good wins but to me is best known for getting punched during press conference with rid**** bowe.he was terrified of bowe & danced around him during their fight. he reminds me of tony tucker or kingpin.big guys who would rather outpoint you & not get hit then knock you out.i can't see his comeback lasting long.

sounds really exciting..can't wait watching him on a independent PPV fighting a 51 year old Holyfield with Col Bob as the commentator...

A joke that I,m sure the FL box commish will allow...I can imagine his opponent...may have to declare his income to social security...

I agree with everything in this except for your statement about tony tucker. tony tucker had a real killer instinct. of his 57 wins, 47 were by way of knockout, a very impressive clip. to compare Larry Donald and Kingpin to Tony Tucker is way out of line. Tucker's problem was he wasn't quite good enough to win against the very best (via by knockout or decision). when he was the bette fighter, he usually knocked out his opponent.

the HW division is becoming the theater of the absurd -- geezers abound -- has beens and never-wases coming out of the old age home to fight each other -- what better indication of how god-awful this once glamorous division has become!

He's already ranked #2 by the WBA.

can Chuck Wepner vs Marvis Frazier be far behind?

That's good for him. It's glad to see you can never be too old to make a comeback. Unless you're in your 60's or 70's of course.
