As I've said on may occasions, sports science has firmly established the human body is able to achieve peak fitness up until 34-35 years of age.
After that, the body goes into a rapid decline, which can be mitigated by exercise and diet - but things such as reaction time, hand-eye coordination, susceptibility to injury all degenerate and increase respectively.
Now, of ODLH was considering taking on some four rounders against somewhat soft opposition, I'd say that would be smart.
But coming out of a 12-year hiatus to challenge the top 160-pounders in your first fight? That's just over-confidence and hubris talking, and he should know better.
If he thought Pacman beat him up, imagine what Andrade, Derevyanchenko, Golovkin, I was going to say Charlo, but Charlo would probably duck him.
Of course, all that being said, It's his right to attempt to challenge himself - and he ought to be free to do so- however, there are many different layers of competition suited to guys in their forties and fifties who still wish to compete.
Everyone refers to B-Hop and Big George Foreman as exceptions, but both were exceptions to the rule.
Foreman came back in '87, when he was in his late 30's, while B-hop simply looked after his body to such a degree that he delayed his bodies natural process to breakdown.
