      Most of the Pro athletes from the class of 1996 have looked their age. Kobe, Floyd, Nash, ect...

        watch his stuff at 130 and see how much he already has declined..

        i'll go as far as saying almost dramatically..

          i voted for the next b hop, because it's just a funny concept and i wanted to click on it

          but i doubt he will make it that far or want to. bernard is 47 years old.
          that's insane.

          if he doesnt fight more often than once or twice a year and he doesnt fight bigger and stronger guys i dont see anybody who will be beating him up any tie soon

            Yes he can. Even as he slows down, his technique and experience can get him by.

            Question is: does he want to?

              so floyd is kobe?

                We'll be lucky to see him fight 2 more times after this fight imo.

                  I'm just pointing out that most elite athletes in their mid 30's tends to decline in terms of physical attributes such as, speed, athletic explosiveness, ect.
