And Lennox was a young 37, because he hadn't taken a lot of punishment in his career.

You don't go by age.. Lewis at the same career stage that Wlad was fighting Purrity was fighting against the best HW'S in the world and in a 4 men tournament that involved Ruddock,Holyfield,Bowe. He started getting to the elite level a lot faster. Vitali retired for four years and came back. Wladimir had an slower rate of progression. He started fighting at the world class/elite level 16 fights in. Vitali and Wlad started the world class jump 30-40+ fights in.
Also HW'S age over night, Wlad is 36. Let's see him 18 months from now and than we talk.
Not to mention in what world is almost 38 not old? In what world? Outside of Hopkins world?
