I find that fighters with a lengthy amateur career generally last longer than fighter who were rushed into being a pro. For example, GGG is aged at 32, but I think his body is much younger than fighters with the same age that went pro earlier. Guys like Jarmain taylor and kelly Pavlik demonstrate the opposite, too many wars too early. Should more American fighters take this blueprint and maybe learn more while amateurs?

golovkin will do well even at 36-37, he's skillful enough all he needs is the strength, like froch, he doesn't really require all that athleticism and speed -
People overlook how significant training is in this equation. Most injuries happen in training as does the majority of the wear and tear on your knees, shoulders, etc.Comment

I agree. I find it strange when fighters hit thirty (a physical prime for most males) and then hit rock bottom. You have to question the people around that fighter; trainers, lifestyle, friends, and amateur back round.Comment

I think both GGG and Froch have underrated athleticism. Froch has insane stamina (see taylor fight) and GGG is very coordinated and strong, Froch is also freakishly strong. I think the early thirties should be a fighters most successful years if conditioned correctly.Comment
