Comments Thread For: Can a fighter still thrive and be a force in their forties?

Beterbiev has 300+ fights in the amateurs in his defence
Fighting the likes of Kovi and Usyk to boot

We can't really compare Amateur to Pros. Majority of these 300 amateur fights are 3-4 rounds fights against nobodies. They also use headgear and other protections in Amateurs so you take less punishment after a fight.

Also there is the 2-3 months of training in the Pro ranks because you're actually fighting someone that as good as you. Which also takes a toll on your body as well.

I definitely agree
My point was more time consuming as in training etc etc
