    aging fighters

    a bunch of them obviously, but I was thinking about 2, which are doing pretty good right now: mayweather and judah

    considering their styles and their age (28), I think that they will be past their primes in a not so long time (2 to 4 years from now).

    I also thought about mayweather who traded in a couple of fights lately, and we all thought (well me at least) it's just bcos he wanted to put on a show,+.. what if he now HAS to stand and trade at times (bcos of his extra weight he cannot be on the move all of the time)?

    how long do you think they will be on the top of their games?

    will we notice when they slip?
    or they will move to the weakest division in which they can be competitive and stay there to win some more (a la rj)?

    I think 147 will be probablty be a safe harbor in a couple of years (with the exception of margarito, but dlh and mosley will be ancient in 2 years and we need to know more about cotto to make him a threat)

    who do you think will age more gracefully? pbf bcos of his technichal tightness or judah bcos of his power?
