    No. That's like taking a man's job away from him.

    not being able to make serious money is bad enough.
    although i would not mind seeing them in less rigorous fights like 8 or 10 round fights. some sort of well promoted geriatric league .

    Should be a case by case basis. The doctors though should have the fighters best interest in mind. It's scary to think what happens when fighters get old in the ring right before your eyes.
