Official Boxers who got better or improved after 25 years old Thread

[Vasyl’s dad]

Young Stribling.

started as a featherweight ended up as a heavyweight. scored lots of kos as he moved up higher in weight as a middleweight, & lightheavyweight.

as he got older his body matured. his body got stronger, his experience, technique, & he eventually became a better fighter.


this is not that difficult to comprehend.

Tase, we're both older than the average head on this site. You've already mentioned how you feel stronger now that you did in your early 20s.

Most of these guys posting are in their early 20s and late teens. They haven't experienced what we have yet. I feel much stronger now, than I did when I was 28, and at 28, I felt stronger than when I was 21, just as, at 21, I felt stronger than when I was 17.

Its quite a simple concept really, but sometimes, the easiest things are the hardest to digest for those working with less upstairs.

Combine the added strength that we gain as we get older, especially when we take much better care of our bodies, to the knowledge we have learned as well,

it adds up to something better than what you were when you were younger.

Lets liken it to a guitarist.

Which version is better?

The young 20 something Carlos Santana?

Or the aged vet Carlos Santana?

People don't get it that with age comes a plethora of advantages from physical to mental.

Bernard Hopkins
Wladimir Klitschko
Vitali Klitschko
Roberto Duran

All those fighters have one thing in common. They started off their careers better than Pac did.

Im just great at comebacks, what can i say?

You did say that Pacquiao got stronger because he's at a natural weight now. Doesn't that mean that 147 is his natural weight? im not ******, im just using yuor logic.

And what i said about Tyson was me just owning Tortilla's theory completely.

I'm sick of people throwing Bernard Hopkins's name into that. Dude, B-Hop could box beautifully if he wanted to. Just that back then he had freakish stamina, he didn't have to preserve his energy and he'd destroy dudes. Go watch B-Hop vs. Echols 2, see how Echols gets outboxed by a one-handed B-Hop. In fact, go watch their 1st fight, Echols gets outboxed there to. I really don't see what B-Hop learned late, I don't.
