    Boxing Organizations Must Have A Retirement Rules

    AGE LIMITATION . Look in the case of Holyfield,lots of comments concerning him have been viewed as dried up leaves,in the event that he stil wana fight in the arena as old gladiator intimidating a stronger & young lions.

              If they can pass the physical than they will be allowed to fight, otherwise it would be discrimination.

              My old manager from the amatuers has been trying to get a fight lined up for the last 10 years. I believe that he must be 60 now. He claims that he wants to fight father time, who does reside in Michigan, in a 4 round free for all. Hes a great guy...........Rockin'

                  What do we have in here is that an equal age should have their fight at the same level of age, otherwise the younger ones might have their great advantages empowering over them.
                  I suggest that after retirement from an age of let's say 40,should there be a fight the old boxers would fight at their golden category declining prime age AGAINST the same age of 40 &/or above. Would that be sir ROCKIN?

                      If we went by those guidlines than George Foreman would never have had the oppertunity to win the title again. In most cases that would be good to limit the age but its just not going to happen. Who would pay money to watch 2, 45 year old slugs fight as professionals. If they want to do it than they will work by the same agenda as everybody else. The old guy is a professional boxer and the young guy is a professional boxer. They both know the risks going in, so may the best man win.........Rockin'
