Why are fighters now fighting at a high level later in their careers?

Floyd was juicing. He waited for Pac to agree to USADA so Manny's lil cheating ass couldn't cheat and he could. Lol good sh1t from Floyd!! Smartest ninja in the game.

PEDs, healthier diets, and knowledge of our body. I'm pretty sure Gene Tunney didn't know wtf carbohydrates were. Although pre-1960 I think most guys averaged 60+ fights before 35. Gene Tunney was an educated, very well-read man and very concerned about nutrition and training. I'm sure that he knew about carbohydrates since it was already a common term. See: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=carbohydrate&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Ccarbohydrate%3B%2Cc0

You've opened up a can of worms here Larry! :lol1:

Are easy fights/exhibitions/10 rounders the only way to go past 100 fights nowadays? The only one close to 100 fights in recent times is James Toney? Although Toney probably has a worse weight problem than most other old timers apart from Tony Galento.

Performance enhancing drugs. Marquez willing to drink his own pee to get an edge, you think he would balk at a banned substance? Klitchko is basically drago... and Floyd .... I been thought he was on something for years.. this whole clean up the sport routine was too tryhard.. reminds me of a saying.... He who protests too loudly....

peds masked by saline/vitamin IV this and lots of vitamin C...like 15times more than the legal limit :lol1: :lol1:

pretty much drug free? hmmm...... wlad was part of that soviet/ex-soviet olympic athlete system. remember big bro's ped admission? same system. marquez seemed clean for most career but then he hooked up with memo. hopkins growth hormones, hgh. floyd and his IV and TUE. Unsubstantiated, false rumors, everyone wearing a tin foil hat. Especially when there guys loses, the one's who beat them become PED abusers.

Tyson at 38-knocked out by Danny Williams Leonard-at 35-Beat up by Terry Norris..at 40 stopped by Camacho Chavez sr at 38 beat up and stopped by Kosta Tzu Ali at 38-beat up and stopped by Holmes Wlad is 39 still on top Mayweather just went out on top at 38 Jmm was world class at 40 Peds ,iv's and payed off refs. .cherry picking as well.

Everything is progressive. Ever learning and ever evolving. Therefore better. not true. did you watch the republican debate?

Everything is progressive. Ever learning and ever evolving. Therefore better. well said Mr. Mega sir

Everything is progressive. Ever learning and ever evolving. Therefore better.

they've found out that a 750 ml mixture of saline and vitamin C plus 150k plus dollar US paid to USADA is better than any existing PEDs

clinching and ped's

Less fights, better ways to work out, better nutrition, and better medical care. There's more but those are off the top of my head. peds masked by saline/vitamin IV talent pool is smaller so they get to stick around a little longer These are some valid reasons

TRT would be my guess

Tyson at 38-knocked out by Danny Williams Leonard-at 35-Beat up by Terry Norris..at 40 stopped by Camacho Chavez sr at 38 beat up and stopped by Kosta Tzu Ali at 38-beat up and stopped by Holmes Wlad is 39 still on top Mayweather just went out on top at 38 Jmm was world class at 40 Because these guys who are elite and very old in boxing terms haven't lost their drive to stay in tip top shape and active. You look at Tyson, Leonard, Chavez, and Ali and it was obvious that they weren't as committed professionally as they were when they had that drive at a young age.

My guess would be better PED's being a big factor. Haha you got one part right it was a guess , its like fear of the unknown where there always must be a silver bullet behind everything somebody dont understand , things just cant be better lol .

I knew it was about that video.
