    Oldest "young" boxers?

    Who are some boxers who are still relatively young, but fight like they are much older? Or boxers who you'd think are much older than they are (not based on physical appearance, but just based on how shot they are).

    For example, Erik Morales has gotta be the oldest 38... When guys like Floyd, and Rigo, Wlad, and Pac are around his age. And Marquez is older. I actually thought Morales was only like 35 still.. But damn, you'd think he was in hs mid 40's by how shot he is.

    Rubio is only lke 34, but for some reason, you'd think he's older.

    Juanma has to be up there.

    He's been shot for a good few years now. Slow as hell, no punch resistance and generally shot to ****. You'd think he was an old journey man at this point.

      Juanma was the first one that came to mind. The guy is what, 30? And he's completely washed up.

      Morales wasn't old for his age. He looked OK in his fights after his comeback (except in Garcia II of course). Manny, JMM, Floyd and Wlad are more like the exceptions to the rule.

        Great mention with JuanMa. Dude went from top prospect, to calls for retirement n a few years. Barely cracked 30 too.

          I got you all beat, Hernan "Tysonito" Marquez. Just turned 26 this year and boy is he shot to ***** Huge fan of the guy but he is already over the hill at this point of his career. Gave us some wars, but it all ended so quickly. Brutal stoppages to the likes of Donaire, Viloria, Segura and up and comer McJoe Arroyo really take a toll on a young fighter. Add the loss to Mepranum and all out wars against Luis Concepcion, sprinkle a pinch of "no defense" and "all out slugger" and you have yourself the perfect recipe for a shot fighter before 28.

          Oh and to make matters worse, Roman Gonzalez has shown interest in battering Tysonito as well. Sad to see him go out like this... WAR TYSONITO

          You may not win many fights anymore, but you won the BoxingScenes Oldest "Young" Boxer Award
