    I definitely see a shift, even Mayweather is 33 now and Calzaghe retired looking great at 36.

    Tua has got to be getting on too and he's a top heavyweight. It's only a good thing for the sport that boxers are lasting longer.

            Wrong, alot of boxers get better as they age, even 50 years ago some did, prime examples would be Jersey Joe Walcott and Archie Moore.
