[slimshandy69]

mayweather and Wladimir are both 36/7 yar of age and are dominating.

[Frank Ducketts]

Could those 4 guys compete with the comp and champions 7 years ago?

You gotta read the whole post of post # 1.

This is ******ed.

Rigo obviously wasn't allowed to fight in the Pro's until he defected from Cuba and made his pro debut at the age of 29.

Golovkin made his debut at the age of 26 and woudl have became champion much sooner but unfortuantely for him he was under poor management and wasn't allowed a crack at the title for several years. Once he signed with K2 however his career has taken off.
Kovalev just turned pro 4 years ago.

Compare that to Canelo, who turned pro at 16 and has been a pro for almost 9 years now and has 43 fights.

Broner has been a pro for 5 years but is well more connected than the above mentioned guys, having good promoters/managers getting him HBO exposure early on helped him get title oppurtinuties much faster compared to guys like GGG & Kovalev who were forced to fight in obscurity early on in their careers.

But this is nothing new. Pacquiao won his third divisional title at the age of 21-22.

Do you think that these guys who started making noise at 30 years of age would've been as good as they were, say age 23?

Do you think that the 4 guys that I mentioned above could've made an impact at Broner or Canelo's age(23). I think Canelo and Broner are 24 now, but do you?

[Russian Crushin]

How can you ask that about guys who werent even pros until 3 years after that?

Look, I don't really want/need a factual response. Just give an opinion.

[migaledut]

Lucas is 30 (or 31?) and still hasn't reached his prime imo.

Based on non facts and nothing other than guesses is what your asking?

Guys, I'm not trying to be a d**k here, but this isn't that hard.

Sugar Adam answered perfectly. Just use your vivid imagination matching the styles of the four that I mentioned against the champs of 07.

I only used Broner and Canelo as examples because of what they accomplished at their age.

I put the four that I mentioned at age 23, thats all.

Pretend that they did start early, and were finished products in 2007, and 2007 is who they are today. Can they compete, and would they be champions. In other words, take the 2013 versions and match them against the champs of 07.
