I'm not against anyone pursuing their dreams. That's why I maintain that it's the licensing authorities' responsibility to make sure that Evander doesn't get their approval to continue fighting. I don't blame the fighter for wanting to continue getting glory. But I do blame the people that can actually do something to prevent it and don't.
I agree with you, but the commisions dont have any real grounds to take Evanders licence. Being 44 isnt enough. He lost three in a row but most fighters have lost more consecutive fights then that and are still fighting.
I would CAT scan the sh*t out of Evander, and look for any clue that might indicate long-term damage from his many wars over the years. And if you gotta take his license away to protect him from himself, so be it. I know he's been a great champion and a hell of warrior over the years, but you gotta know when to hand over the keys and let someone else drive.

All that has been done...Thats why he was allowed to fight again in the first place.....Sad reality is slurred speech is not enough to strip a guy....The rules clearly stae there has to be a certain amopunt of consecutive KO losses ( each state varies) or the fighter must show he can no longer defend himself in the ring.....
