Why are fighters now fighting at a high level later in their careers?

[Larry the boss]

Tyson at 38-knocked out by Danny Williams

Leonard-at 35-Beat up by Terry Norris..at 40 stopped by Camacho

Chavez sr at 38 beat up and stopped by Kosta Tzu

Ali at 38-beat up and stopped by Holmes

Wlad is 39 still on top

Mayweather just went out on top at 38

Jmm was world class at 40

Sports nutrition and advances in training I'd say have advanced significantly since those days.

And PED's lol...

And look at who those guys lost to...not bad names at all....Tyson shouldn't even count, he spent half his prime behind bars not even boxing at all.

More pampering throughout career. Safer training methods and equipment, less fights over-all, modern medicine (potentially PEDs), better safety equipment. They also tend to step up their competition much later since maintaining that 0 trumps quality of opponents to the masses.

I still think Leonard could have beaten Norris if he'd of been more cautious.

talent pool is smaller so they get to stick around a little longer
