Old Boxers Never Die.....

Henry Akinwande beat Cisse Salif last month, Shannon Briggs is still on his tear of knocking down tomato cans, and Riddick Bowe, in all of his "dain-brammaged" glory, is still trying to get on fight cards at Indian Reservations.

If Oleg Maskaev is getting a title shot against Hasim Rahman, why not? It looks like a lot of heavyweights, having missed their shots during their primes, are still hanging around, looking for another shot at glory......or at least another paycheck. This is nothing new in the boxing world, but in the heavyweight division some of these "has-beens" and "never-weres" can still win a fight with the fabled "one big punch", and this does bring in the cash. One has to wonder if Mike Tyson will re-enter the fight game.

I suppose that the icing on the cake will be Ike Ibeabuchi coming out of prison at age 60 to re-enter the heavyweight mix (Hell, why not, he beat David Tua, and beat Chris Byrd into submission).
