WBC , study to estyablish a limit age for World Titles fights......
In Mexico , the WBC will study the posibility to establish a limit age of 39 Years for boxers make a World Title Defense , that is what the Mexican President " Jose Sulaiman "..................confirmed......
This establishment of a limit age for Title Fights will dabatable in the Convension that will celebrate next Octuber in China..........
Sulaiman explained that the boxers that excced this limit age of 39 years old , the Council will exhort a phisical test to demonstrate that not has any self-damage in their activity as boxer.....................
Although , he said also that they cant stop them , if boxers want to return to fight , but with this new regulation of limit age and the exhorting phisical test , can Help for have a better protection for them.......
Ones of case more recently of a boxers that returned to fight after his retirement was the Mexican Julio Cesar Chavez , Triple World Champion , who for has the authorization to return to fight , he submited to various phisical test ............................
IMO i think this is an extraordinary idea .......................;D
What do you think guys ?.................

As long as they're not completely banned and have a go at proving their health then I've got nothing against it.
Re: WBC , study to estyablish a limit age for World Titles fights......
It's a nice idea, but age is just a number and doesn't indicate how old/young a fighter really is.
For example, a 44 year old Bernard Hopkins is really younger and fresher in boxing years than a 31 year old Erik Morales. A 45 year old George Foreman had less wear-and-tear on him than a 29 year old Riddick Bowe.
It definitely isn't a bad thing to require older fighters to prove they're healthy enough to fight, but shouldn't all fighters be thoroughly examined?

I agree with you Sweetpea.............
That is the point Sweetpea , theres some experts that said , that this Regulation is an excelent idea , but will create a Controversy , cuz they put the argue , If a boxer is Champion before 39 years old , that mean after the 39 the boxer cant still defending his World Title ? or They will take him off the Title ?................
I agree with Trinidad Sr. , he commented that he see certain discrimination of this , he said ; That he believe the Organizations should abide depending of the Quality of Boxer , ( The Boxing ) is a Business , but the Organization should watch that nobody take a boxer to World Title to fight like a Business , have to be by their Merits , the Organizations have to see how was their lastest fights and their results with a phisical test , out of doubt , the Organizations cant generalize and should not have any regulation that restrict the Right to fight for a World Title to any age................
IMO the Organizations should have to put the boxers to make more rigorous phisical test , you can see some boxers that with just speaking with them , you can note that they cant Boxing and probably could have 25-26 years old , the phisical condition dont have nothing to be with the age..................
But is necessary a rigorous Phisical Test more often...............:cool:
