    Did you know, for example, that Oliver McCall fought a year ago, at the age of 53?

    Also Ron Lyle fought at the same age, iirc.

    Who else?

    Kenny Lane came back in his 50's and Earnie Shavers won a fight unlicensed I think in his 60's

    Bad example, it was an exhibition fight as the sanctioning bodies didn't accept it. You of all people should remember THAT
