1st thing to go in old age?

[Ryn0]

In boxing terms of course. When a fighter becomes "out of his prime" what is the first thing to go?

I say reflexes and timing. What do you think?

I'll say speed, fighters who get old always say they saw the openings but just couldnt get there like they used to.

speed imo......

Foot speed. I watched Roy Jones vs Anthony Hanshaw the other day...wow. Where was his speed? Age is a *****.

Chin is guarunteed to go with age, i'd say thats the first thing followed by reflexes.

[Ryn0]

the raw power is the last thing to go IMO usually though power is useless without timing and speed.

Reflexes is the first to go I think. (If it's the same as speed, then cool)

Can i have examples of this? Bernard, Ali, Foreman, Chavez all held up from being knocked out cold from one punch, dont base this off of Roy Jones Jr now, ha.

it just appears that chin goes because reflexes go and guys get hit with more good shots as they age.

Reflexes are the first to go, power is the LAST.
