      Vitali?

      He could probably make 50M coming out of retirement to fight Joshua. Not saying it's a good idea

        Bhop. Foreman. Larry Holmes(He beat Ray Mercer at 42?).
        Evander Holyfield beat Valuev imo way out of his prime.



        but i digress. the candidate pool is very small for every race lmao.


        close the thread please.

          did you see Vitali today? He's gone out of shape. test has dipped big time. he looked fat.

            wtf, Old Man Foreman wasn't great?



            As far as white dudes, do you mean only HWs? Maybe Onomastos or Tisandros or Theaganese. How interested are you and how far back in time are you interested? I'll give you a definitive answer if you like but my instincts tell me he'd be ancient if he existed at all. Even then making sure he was white might be a challenge, I'm pretty sure Onomastos was a Turk, well ya know Anatolian. From what the place now called Turkey.

                Vitali looked every bit his age in his final two fights i thought, even though he won because of who he was fighting. Great fighter but definitely knew when to retire (again).
