    just hold on, herbie was vits best win at that time and still is one of his top three, and to claim it was shyte means vitalis whole resume was awful.

    i've implied vits resume is middling,but I never said terrible, why u claiming so.

    Not really Ali retired at 41. Holmes fought till 2002. Foreman fought in his 40's.

    Are you aware that we are talking about defending the title, or are you just playing the fool again?

    The only leg you haver to stand on is foreman, who was already mentioned by me as the exception - you need to add your own material, not repeat the opposing arguments material.

    Cheers man.

    so you arent aware that 41 year ali wasnt defending a title, nor was holmes in 2002. you are just facutally incorrect and you werent aware you were.

    you are forgiven for your error.

    no that is for a different thread and it is an entirely different argument.

    THe argument here is who was defending a world title at 38.

    If you want to start a fresh unrelated argument, start a new thread or discuss it with someon interested in pursuing a different topic.

    Klitishko was 39 against Fury in 2015 and was willing to fight in a rematch in 2016 and fought Joshua in 2017 when he was 41 years old.

    so was Klitshcko successfully defending the title when he fought these?

    no.

    in fact he was losing the title on one, and failing to contend in the other, which is all the more support for my argument that HW champs are right to retire from defending by 38.

    Thank you for supporting my argument mate, but I think your intention was to argue against me, yeh?

    Klitishko was successful at the age of 37, 38. Lewis had more left in the tank and the rematch was just one more fight which he ran away from.

    why you introducing age 37, when the parameter was set at 38?
    I have no interest in arguing about age 37, after all lewis was successful at that age!

    If you wish to start a fresh argument about age 37, you can, but its not one with me.
