Is Vitali relatively young compared to Bernard Hopkins?

[FlatLine]

Hopkins is 47 years old, Vitali is only 41.

Marquez was 39 and KO'd Manny Pacquiao who at the time, in some people's eyes, was considered the P4P number one.

Vitali is relatively young in this day and age of science and nutrition. Klitschko fans who claim he's old are simply making excuses for him. Remember 40 is the new 30. Times have changed and 40-year-old fighters (particularly heavyweights) could start to be considered as entering their true prime now, potentially in the best condition of their careers. Perhaps Hopkins genetics may well be far superior to Klitschkos and a lot of other boxers, but then I go back to Marquez - 39 and in the best shape of his life.

I'd be interested to hear opinions.. throw up a poll in a sec..

When did this new age of science and nutrition begin?

41 is not that old for a boxer.

Hopkins was 46 and still dominating. Foreman won his second title at 45.

Vitali will be scared into retirement by former cruiserweight David Haye

Many say Joe Calzaghe's win over Eubank was meaningless because Eubank was age 30.

Some say Spink's win over Ali isn't good because Ali was 36, and Holmes win over him wasn't because Ali was 38. And Marciano's win over Joe Louis wasn't any good because Louis was 37.

A few fighters like Vitali and Jersey Joe Walcott were still good at 38.

But very, very few are still good when they are past their 40th birthday. Walcott seemed old in the second fight with Marciano, but not in the first.

Vitali looked good at 38 against Arreola and at 40 against Adamek, but he looked faded against Chisora and against Charr.

Tarver looked pretty good over 40 but he tested positive for PEDs...

Seems like a simple math question. Yes, he is.

If you're dumb enough to only consider age, I guess that would be funny.Using your logic, Eric Morales is still in his prime.

What's the ratio of wars between Eubank and Morales bro? Just wondering. I don't know the answer.
