Well i don't know if you consider 36 old but IMO for boxing it is, didn't 36 year old Joel Casamayor just fight a fight of the year candidate against Michael Katsidis ?? Bernard Hopkins has been boring ever since he got rid of his aggressive style when he become a champion, its nothing to do with age he has always been boring end of, and i can't believe you found Roy Jones Jr vs Felix Trinidad boring. That was much better fight than i expected and a lot of people thought that way as well. And Nate Campbell is also 36 didn't he fight an amazing fight against a very good young champion Juan Diaz ?? i think that basically throws your theory out of the window if im honest.

I can see both sides...

SSNawlins answered your point... the guys you mentioned have earned their dues the hard way over the last few decades. They have fought there way up to the top so it's a little harsh to deny them a superfight against another 'legend' for what amounts to their pension money.

On the other hand it must be hard for a guy on the brink trying to get a title fight agaonst one of these guys (Froch - Calzaghe as an example).

Ultimatley though it's up to the fans - if you dissagree with the fights being made don't go to or pay to watch them I guess.

36 is NOT old... and I'll fight any son-of-a-bitch who says otherwise

Shamrock - UK - Age 36

It's not like we shelled out PPV dollars to see Byrd last night. It's not like Byrd move to LHW and headlining on a FnF card is preventing other good matchups from happening. Foolish comment.

Boxing wise it is considered old.

So what, former champions should just be completely dismissed and not given opportunities cause of their age? Are you gonna tell me Veno Phillips didnt earn his shot at Spinks or Tarver and Johnson arent stil fighting among the elite in their division. But becuse these guys are nearly 40 they cant be televised? Thats ridiculous these guys are where they are for a reason.

Lets face it,this is a buisness
A very large one at that,and a very unforgiving one.
Of course the older guys are hard to get a fight with,theyve got all the bargaining power
Lets face it,if your a promoter,who has more draw for your card,David Tua/Shannon Briggs
Or Chazz Witherspoon/Taras Bidenko
