Don't have a problem with this. I wish more matchups like this would happen, when an older timer who refuses on retiring and wants to fight.

Who knows, this could end up being a very entertaining 4 round fight & could lead the way for other aged fighters who can't seem to hang the gloves up!

Both fighters combined age will be 100 lol

As long as it's two old guys against each other in an exhibition bout, then I'm cool with that. I'm just worried that Holyfield might want to try and fight the Klitshkcos if he gives a good showing against Mercer.

Holyfield will want to fight the Klitschkos if he puts in a horrendous showing against Mercer

To my knowledge, I can't think of any other example like that ?!?

I'm sure Holyfield will look good against whatever form Mercer is able to bring himself to when they face off.

I'd take today's Holyfield over the Mercer that lost to Wlad 10 years ago and that's when Mercer was fighting relatively often.

Naw, remember Joe Frazier(62) fought Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton(65) in a 3 round exhibition?

That's a combined age of 127! lol

Talking exhibitions....anybody recall Tillis and his 10 round exhibition with Mike Tyson?

I know it was a full 10...just not sure if it was before or after their pro fight that went 10 as well.
