Jones-Hopkins: The Worst Side of Boxing

[QUOTE=KittenFlaps;7809435]Or Foreman for that matter. Dude was a fat 45 year old when he regained the title. Let the boxer decide.[/QUOTE]



That may be ok in some circumstances....but what about a guy like Holyfield........he will not retire and hang them up of his own accord........someone needs to step in sometimes........the same thing happens in the ring during a fight....sometimes the trainer needs to throw in the towel even though his fighter refuses to!!!!

Obviously you need to give them an MRI and a full physical and whatnot to make sure they are physically fit enough to compete, but there's no reason why age or record should require someone to have their license revoked.

Holyfield, for example, is an old guy who is still fit enough to compete. So long as he passes the tests why shouldn't he do what he loves doing?

Hard to believe this fight is only a little over 2 weeks away...

Being past prime is not a reason to get your license revoked.

You must be excited for a Tyson return then.

Being past prime is not a reason to get your license revoked.

But being shot is.

Boxing will always milk the cows till they are dry, they always have.

That being said, I am not a doctor, but I see absolutely no reason why Jones shouldn't be allowed to fight. He may be a shadow of his former self but he is by no means a washed up fighter. Roy Jones Jr.'s shadow could still whoop most people's ass.

He is the definnition of wshed up fighter
