By Dave Sholler - Muhammad Ali once said, “Old age is just a record of one's whole life.” If the man formerly known as Cassius Clay is correct, it is conceivable that several veteran boxers still have some in-ring glory days left. However, just like Ali wore down late in his career, at what price will today’s senior boxers pay for brilliance? Can a savvy vet like Glen Johnson muster the inner strength to get off the canvas if young stud Chad Dawson plants him there? Likewise, does old Oleg Maskaev have the courage to stand in the pocket and trade blows with the nightmarish Sam Peter? [details]

I agree, Marquez seems to be ageless for an older fighter fighting at a high level in the lower weights. Usually when there is a fighter in his 20s and a fighter who is 34, you go with the guy who is in his 20s. It's not that easy with Pacquiao-Marquez 2.
With Jones, it's tough to say what he has left because he hasn't been tested since the third Tarver fight.
Vernon Forrest deserves a megafight, but it probably won't come.
