    LOL you think casuals would rather see this Prince guy boxing another 40yr old than the Thurman's, Khan's, Crawford's & those type of talented guys box other contenders? Idk about all that. I mean hell I vaguely remember this Prince guy & I'm a solid boxing nerd over here. I can't imagine many casuals know this guy from the cutman who'll work the corner of the next guy Errol Spence fights so its just a old ass boxer to them so I don't get the appeal for casuals.
    I mean in general, for all the older boxers who still want to fight when they're shot.

This guy & similar or comparable fighters situations need to be better defined as joke or freakshow type levels of pro boxing. I kinda think this lowers the overall quality of boxing.
      I liked your idea about having a senior championship for mature boxers, say 40-50 They have it in Tennis, why not boxing?

        Eh, I wasn't condoning a WBC Senior Tournament or whatever as much as just suggesting these legit elite guys should be over here & all these old guys, subpar guys & just guys I see more as semi-pros then real elite level professional fighters go over to their own lil spot to fight each other.

        I would actually contend its probably not good for men of a certain age to be getting hit in the head, but idk how you'd go about stopping that. Probably catch a lawsuit trying to do that these days. Plus I mean there are still guys like Bhop who's old as f#ck, but can hang with the best of this current era it seems so no one should be telling him he can't box. Clearly he's the exception to the rule doe & this is ultimately a young guys sport all the same.
