How old is TOO old for boxing title fights?
This thread brought to you by the Horn-Pacquiao fight (and also the upcoming McGregor-Mayweather fight)
How old is too old? Should likelihood of victory be the only benchmark?

You are saying that the person who is most likely to win should not be allowed because he hit some age? Does not make ANY sense. Like you are the strongest in the world and most likely to win, but hit X years and suddenly ou are disqualified and second best is presented instead of you (the first one)... No sense  |

There are standards. They are required to pass the medical tests for the state controlling agency and the fight also must be approved by the state.

And since we are talking about most likely to win, passing those tests is out of the question (as it is not really possible, barring special cases, to be most likely to win and not pass those test at the same time). |

If you're old but still top 10 you'll get big fights. So until they stop winning or health issues. Whichever comes first

I think it is hardly possible to be too old if you are still the most likely to win (meaning you are better than all the rest of the fighters). So "too old" and "most likely to win" can not go together. Oxymoron |

Keep in mind george foreman was almost 46 when he became champ a second time. Held on to about 49 yo with a loss to briggs.

I think that the health and the boxing skills of the boxer is more relevant than the age.
