I know we've been here before but the threads on the front page are giving me a headache at this stage.
Manny who started at a young age is said to be slowing down at 34. Though personally I don't see this.
We have Cotto who seems to be fading at 35.
Mayweather is 36 ... doesn't really seem to be slowing
Vitali is lasting into his 40s
Muhammad Ali came back multiple times to take the title and fight for the title
Wlad has actually gotten better in his 30s
Martinez started boxing at 23 and he's still going strong at 37
James Braddock, a washed up boxer, came back in his later years and beat Max Baer
Hopkins started at 23 but is still lively approaching his 50s
Marcianno started at 24-25, retired at 31
Roy Jones started to suck moving into his late thirties
Same for Evander
Tyson's prime apparently lasted a few strange months nobody can pin point exactly
Archie Moore became the oldest to win the LHW title
Jersey Joe Wallcott became the oldest man in his day to win the HW title at 37
George Foreman started boxing at age 18 - became oldest HW champ ever
Guillermo Rigondeaux, the most successful amateur of all time, didn't turn pro till 32 yet people seem to have high hopes for him at pro, even though he's close to the usual point boxers slow down.
Same for GGG in a way
