    Not really. What do u mean brighter? Floyd's career looked bright and could still be going...

    It took a while for Roy to fall off too...

      yes, boxers that rely on speed/explosiveness alone won't last as long as boxers that rely on skills and technique

          mike tyson and ray leonard seemed to have short career
          if the explosive/faster a fighter the shorter the prime will last is true then i aint suprised mike tyson's career was so short, he was a heavyweight with immense speed

            tyson partied like a rock star and the jail time didnt really help him either.. ray leonard was inactive and a crack head..

                depends on their style .. like morales.

                pacquiao is bound to be finished soon, he cant keep taking the punishment he does in fights.
