Yeah that was clearly humorous but that doesn't necessarily make the original a joke post although it seems it was.

I switched to an energy saving brain. Very ecologically sound but more than a little dim :doh: :D

For instance, in the heavyweight division ( 200 lbs and up ):

Junior Division: Ages 17-25

Prime Division: Ages 26-34

Senior Division: Ages 35-44

Grand Division: 45-50 ( extra rules in place for safety precautions )

Legends Division: Ages 51-55 ( extra rules in place for safety precautions, along with mandatory headgear and extra padded gloves ).

I hate to say this, but if the IBF, WBA, WBC, and the WBO got ahold of this idea, they probably would implement it, hoping for more revenue streams.
:zzz: :zzz: :zzz: The "Legends Division" would be the biggest joke, attracting old duffers who THINK they can box but who are only Legends in their own Mind. :verysad:

Holmes beat bone crusher and Weaver in rematches.

I remember those I believe without looking. That they took place in Mississippi in the casinos.
I don't have a problem with old farts wanting to fight old farts.
I do have a problem with promoters matching young up and comers against these old farts just to put a name on their resume
