Tim Sylvia was one his way back to the big show.

Following a four-fight win streak with a notable win over former title challenger Paul Buentello during this stretch, “The Maine-iac” was poised to make a big return to the big show in the immediate future.

I guess Abe Wagner didn’t get the memo, as he took the opportunity last night to pull off the biggest win of his career and instantly put his name on the map amongst the heavyweight field.

AT THE IMPROBABLE age of 48, Herschel Walker believes he can become “the George Foreman of football.”

Walker, the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner as a Georgia junior running back, played 15 seasons of professional football, including 1992 through ’94 with the Eagles, and retired at the end of the 1997 NFL season.

Steelers 24, Jets 19 Packers 21, Bears 14 Packers 21, Eagles 16 He remains the only NFL player to score three ways on plays of 90 or more yards in the same season, achieving that spectacular hat trick for the Eagles in 1994 by taking it to the house on a rush, a pass reception and a kickoff return.

To hear him tell it, Walker can still give a boost to any NFL team willing to ignore the date on his birth certificate. He turns 49 on March 3.

“If I continue to stay in the shape I’m in now, I know I can play when I’m 50,” Walker insisted yesterday during a teleconference to promote his Saturday bout with 27-year-old Scott Carson in a Strikeforce event in San Jose, Calif.

Fight for the Troops 2 gave more than 3,200 soldiers the chance to watch the sport first-hand, and the fundraising efforts attached to the event generated more than $650,000 in donations during the broadcast alone. The initial Fight for the Troops event held two years ago raised over $4 million for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, and Saturday’s event should eclipse that number when all the dollars are counted.
