I agree..one that is very strict with boxers safety. For example Antonio Margarito and Roy Jones Jr should be banned from boxing, and they are like 10 years apart. So boxers performances should be taken in to consideration. Not age, you see Hopkins, Holyfield and Johnson are in there 40's but they're not getting KTFO from left to right.
But a strict rule that protects shot/injured fighters safeties, would also benefit ATG's legacies. For example, what if Jones retired after beating Jeff Lacy? His career would have ended up a solid 54-5 with 40 KO's, 2 losses by KO's. Now? He's 54-8, 4 losses by KO's and he seems to be setting himself up, with this Alexander fight, for another "i'm back!" kind of thing. My favorite fighter, just pathetic. Shoulda just go out with that Lacy stoppage and call it a career and leave your fans thinking "Wow, that was the Roy Jones I loved to watch".
