Does a boxer improve?

[Bret_Hart]

Or some are just facing low level competitions to make them look good. I am not talking about those boxers who are in their late teens, or early 20’s. I am about those boxers who are in their late 20’s or early 30’s”

Yes they improve. You can look at prospects and see the notable improvements in them. You can also see the improvements vs boxers of similar styles.

Just compare Canelo with his performance vs Miguel Cotto and his brother.

Even Lomachenko has improved from his 2nd fight to his 10th fight, and he was a 2x gold medalist and fought semi pro.

Absolutely.

Best way to do this is to literally experiment with yourself. Take up some boxing, idc what age you are 28, 38, 45, whatever. Just join a gym. Start training. Spar a little when you’re ready. If you stick to it, you will notice everything get better from stamina to muscle memory, timing, form, the way you throw punches, the way you block.

Now imagine that on a higher level scale and with more on the line, more ambition, the fact that that’s their job, that’s what they do for a living and all. They HAVE to get better faster, they want that world title, paydays, fame, etc. And when you are highly touted and start getting all kinds of money, bonuses, sign with a great promoter, then you will have more resources available to you.

So yeah 100% you can get better. I guess it all depends on the boxer and the work he wants to put in.

How does anyone improve at what they do ?
Hard work, dedication and a willingness (intellect) to adapt.

Some guys are who they are - Margarito, 13L, Maidana, Mayorga, Horn, Gatti...
No trainer on Earth could improve them. Maybe for a rd or 2 but they would regress to the fighter they truly are.

Depends on the fighter and their willingness to improve as they age. But most certainly any fighter could improve at any age for the most part

By improve it is more from a strategic standpoint once you start reaching your 30's. This ties into the experience factor but most go through fights and assume because they won that they will always win using the same approach.

No. When you start training for the first time, you're at your prime. More you train the worse you get.
