Good topic, but no, even if your health is risked the decision is the boxer's and boxer's only.

If there's gonna be, it shouldn't be based on age. Foreman and Hopkins are good examples of that.

that's why states have athletic commissions and test to see that you are still able to defend yourself.

Really no, I know it hard to see some fighters go down and face bad injuries but its demeaning and demoralizing when you take that away from a boxer, specially a warrior.

over 50 makes a good limit

Anybody who voted for option 2 will see Chavez Jr. retire at 26
