    After watching the Mayorga/Vargas fight, the RJJ/Trinidad fight and loving both, not to mention scared for one of my fav boxers DLH fighting young champs, and hearing MAB is coming back from retirement, wouldn't it be cool to have a new division for over the hill boxers to slug it out with each other. Maybe even a veteran division where we can watch really old fighters come back like Hagler/Leonard 2 or Roger Mayweather/Chavez 3. I would so have fun watching those fights. :good

    lets be honest if a division like that came out people could be seriously injured and we don't want another Mclennan or watson.

    Well, maybe we could keep them from punching each other's face and we'll keep Foreman out of it for sure.

    There are many other factors to boxers getting seriously injured other than age. Gerald McClellan was 28 and Duk Koo Kim was 23 in their fateful fights.

    LOL; of course the problem is you make a mistake in seniors Tennis you go 15/0 done; you make one in boxing, you get your arsed handed to you.

    And I got to admit, the thought of seeing two 50+ year old men fighting it out is not too appealing, if I wanted to see that I would watch Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair in the WWF.;)
