      He's like a five year old car with 200,000 miles on it. I hope Erik saved most of his money.

            In American terms, he pretty much is.

            21 is a good age for Americans to start, and 36 is the finish line.

            Instead, he started at 16 and ended at 31.

            He fought for quite a while hombre.

                dude started as a boy when he was 16 and fought men. he's been through so many wars, each one diminishing his age in Boxing terms.

                  smaller men always seem to age faster.

                    Smaller fighters like him tend to last shorter than the higher weights like Hopkins, because his size its all about speed, punch numbers. Plus 130 is a harder weight to make than say, 160. It would be much more difficult to fight at 130 at 43 years old.
