I havent ridden a dirt bike since I was 15, ( a kx125) and am now 28. I found a guy with a 89 cr500 barely ever used, in mint condition and mildly modified I've heard these bikes can be very difficult to ride and have rediculous power however I am 6'5 and 280 lb ex boxer so I dont know if a 250 would hold my interest very long.

My question is how difficult are the old 500 2 strokes to control and are the suitable for re-learning.

well, considering your size, and past knowledge, i would go with the 500. The 250 does have the power, but would probably bore you after a year. The 500 is a power house and will keep you on your toes.

you have not ridden in a while and a 500cc two stroke for anyone is a handfull start with a 250 for the first yr or so then bump up why have horse power your talent cant safely tap into.
