    Two shells of their former selves in their 40's.
    Thats how its always worked for better or worse. There is seemingly just more money in it for elderly boxers now than in the old timey days. Fair play to the boxers I say.

    I prefer guys get in & out of this sport myself. Marcos Maidana was damn near a folk hero to me for retiring when he did...til he announced his comeback.

    But I get it. Wtf do you do with your life at 35, 40 when all you've been doing since 8 is boxing? And why would you necessarily wanna do something else instead of getting a 5, 6 or 7 digit check for boxing which is what you've dedicated your life to?

    As fans I think too many of us think of legacy stuff & boxing history stuff with these types of fights or just older guys in general. I think the fighters look at it more like a wtf am I supposed to do now thing or a pay the bills/setup a bigger next egg thing.

          Hell man Floyd Sr had his last fight in the late 80's or early 90's but I think there was some video a month ago of him sparring with some cat.

          So while he's not fought fought in 30ish years he's still fighting in the gym now ffs. Idk that that is all that intelligent to be doing for a 60 something year old guy.
          Panda did you watch the whole video? Paper on the wall? That sounded like he was trying to explain what a poster was, then switched it to the tv. It could very well be the start of some type of mental issues.

            I'm happy for both if they make this fight again and I might watch it too. But I'm not as intrigued as before. I want to see Pac against these younger generations where he might still have a chance to elevate his legacy, not this 'money' fight.

              I agree with this
