    63 year old heavyweight Gordon Racette fighting in BC

    he fought Tony Tubbs & trevor Berbick in the early 80s. Would that make him the oldest HW ever to fight? Ruddock is fighting eric barrack at 51 but 63 is insane...

        Jack Johnson was 53 in his last fight, one he won by KO. Holmes was 52 in the Butterbean fight. Hopkins was 49 vs Kovalev. Foreman was 48 in the Briggs fight. Archie Moore was 46 in his last fight. Can't think of any more. 63 is damn old to be getting in the ring.
