Is Vitali relatively young compared to Bernard Hopkins?

[Skittlez]

I don't like Vitali, but he's beyond ancient.

He took a four year lay off, which you think would have helped?
But his non stop string of injuries cancelled that out. He have suffered more mysterious injuries than any other boxer in history.

He's heading towards shot and I fully expect Haye to end this guy.

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

I wasn't comparing the two. My point is fighters age at different stages. You can't compare them by age. It's a basic concept and fact only someone as dumb as you wouldn't understand.

I know what you meant but I'm curious since you brought up the name Morales up. Since a grand boxing genius like yourself might be able to answer it, I asked. No harm done right?

How old does Hopkins have to get before he is also considered as ancient as Vitali?

I already answred it. I'm not going to translate something that simple for you. If you don't understand it, that's a reflection of your lack of comprehension skills.

You didn't answer my question sir.

Another thing is that you criticize something I misspelled and here you're doing it.

But anyways it looks like this is just going to go back in forth. See ya racist lover.

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

So you make the claim that 41 is not old and then name two old boxers who were still successful. Two. That actually shows that boxers being succesful at old age is rather the exception than the rule, which is quite contrary to your theory.

[The Hammer]

Why does the threadstarter say Vitali young at 41 and yet many say Eubank was old at age 30?

Why if Muhammed Ali didn't fight for 3 years it was harmful to him, yet if Vitali had a four-year layoff due to injuries it was good for him?

Why is Vitali still young at 41 and Ali old at 36 when he fought Spinks?

Why does the threadstarter say Vitali is young at 41? Was Louis young at age 37 when he fought Marciano?

Vitali IS old now, I could see it in his past two fights that he's faded.

Truth is, fighters age differently.

Morales is old because of all the wars he's been in, Mayweather is young because he was never hit much during his career because of his defensive style.

Vitali was better when he fought Adamek at age 40 than 99% of fighters in history were at age 40, but the years have finally caught up to him.

B-Hop is the exception rather than the rule.

[Cutthroat]

You have to take into account Vitali's massive size, unlike Marquez and Hopkins. That extra weight is bad for the knees, big men seem to be more prone to injuries. But you also have to take into account the level of competition they've faced their entire careers, and the fact that Vitali had a 4 year "break" from boxing.

Marquez and Hopkins have fought GREAT fighters their entire careers and are still fighting them, Hopkins fighting guys like JT x2, Pascal x2, Pavlik, Dawson x2 etc. Marquez as well moving up in weight and Koing a guy like Pac.

Imagine how fresh every fighter would be at age 40 if they fought C level fighters their entire career like Vitali has. His fans will try to pump up his opponents like they're talented fighters though lol.
