Do lower weight fighters improve or decline after 35?

[Roger Mellie]

Not totally ****ting on shane,he is one of my favourite fighters,but it would seem that the *****'s think that Floyd is fighting a guy near to his prime.

comments not necessary,just vote in the poll.

there is no poll, and it depends on the fighter.

Poll added.

Even if Mosley is still out of his prime, he is better then anyone out there right now besides Pacquiao and still a damn good fighter.

I agree Warp,but that wasnt what I asked.

Bernard Hopkins is the only fighter at any weight that I can think of that might have actually improved after age 35.

That's exactly what I was going to say. Mosley out of his prime(we don't know he may be like BHOP where he can fight at a top level for another 5 years), is greater than almost any fighter on this planet.

True,but he fights at the higher weights. Traditionaly guys at the lower weights have shorter careers,or shorter primes.

Like I said,I aint ****ting on him,but with the lighter guys the decline is sharper. B-hop is a freak of nature though!
