      It's either their love of the sport, resiliency, or in dire need of money

        Did you see Inter Milan's "old men" ass whip Barcelona's kids for fame last night?

        Experience counts! No way is any little squirt going to beat most of those guys.

              Modern medicine, modern gear, modern training and dieting and low rate of fights is expanding the careers of many boxers. Would these same fighter be still fighting at 40+ 50 years ago? I really doubt it.

                  It's not that. It's the politics of boxing. If we had more tournaments it wouldn't be so. Some of those kids only become famous after they are out of their primes, in their 30's. Some spend too much time padding records and other BS.
