At what age is a boxer no longer dangerous?

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Watching Mike Tyson, he still looks damn good and is still very dangerous to a majority of the public. This also makes me think of the old head laborers who used to hit the gym knocking youngin thugs out.


This man 79.


Ernesto bergamasco. This man 71

That muscle memory ain't going no where

Old wrinkled man whooping ass like he stole his Depends.

they'll always be dangerous

Depends on who's in the presence of that Danger.
Boxers have primes, but that prime is only relevant to others within their profession who have youth/strength on their side to compete at that level.
George Foreman is in his mid 70's and 10 of Coli's finest could run up on duke and it will look like an Ip man fight scene.

The science behind throwing an effective punch is different to just letting your hands go and the common majority of cats that ain't never boxed/sparred or unfortunately been hit by someone who knows how to connect a dedicated fisticuff, thinks that a boxer's skill and training the minute their peers start to hand them losses en mass, so they turn into regular people. Nope.
The only time a boxer or anyone trained in a profession in which they've dedicated significant portions of their lives to the point it's the only career they know or had becomes less effective demonstrating that skill in public...is when they get hit with disease.

There's no specific age, it just depends on the person and their health.

I'm sure most retired pro-boxers in their 70s would beat my ass

 

[Billy Ocean]

If they have all their faculties (able to walk...move their arms...) boxers are dangerous well into their old age. Muscle memory a mothafukka.

 

[Amused Mastery]

I was told that the last thing a boxer loses is their power…they’re dangerous all the way up to old man status

 

[BronxFleeZ]

Old man strength is dangerous but a boxing old man? Smh

 

[Rekkapryde]

they'll always be dangerous

this.

that muscle memory don't go nowhere

edit: missed @Billy Ocean post. He's 100% right.

get your eye swole by a senior citizen, crehs - and they didn't even bother to take their sweater off

 

[ShackZilla89]

I've seen a video of an old hunch back ex boxer knock out a young man. I don't think they stop being dangerous, you gotta remember, they know how to effectively transfer the power from their body into their punches...

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

At whatever age they in the coffin.
