Is Vitali relatively young compared to Bernard Hopkins?

[White_Knight]

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.

Well Hopkins did refuse to take a drug test, and, to me, it is mighty su****ious that he amassed his best wins after age 36 - very, very strange.

Are you trolling or what?

Vitali was injured FOUR TIMES in 9 months prior to retiring and avoiding Rahman.

What's more su****ious?

A former Steroid Cheat who was CAUGHT during the Olympics going on to have a career of Ped-Related injuries

Or

Bernard Hopkins- Gym Rat team dedication ... fighting into his late 30's 40's ?

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

Having more wars than another fighter doesn't necessarily mean you'll age quicker or slower.

And, Eubank was in his fair share of wars anyway before the Calzaghe fight.

What's the ratio of wars between Benitez and Morales? Yet Benitez was done at an even younger age than Morales.

All fighters age differently and all for different reasons.

Just for the record, Vitali is older than Hasim Rahman, Oscar De la Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Shane Mosley, John Ruiz, Jose Luis Castillo, and Marco Antonio Barrera.

So first it's Vitali is not old because he took 4 years off, now it's he's on steroids because he's still going strong with 41 years and the 4 years layoff doesn't matter.

Lmao.

Its definitely that some can go beyond 40 others cannot.

Then it's the punishment.. or lack of, that you have sustained in said career.
