    Training/Nutrition, better manages careers, fighting less often but most importantly adapting your style to suit your physical limitations.

            Mayweather, Hopkins, Marquez, Wladimir - All pretty much drug-free fighters who stay away from alchohol.

            Chavez Sr? A drunk, he had drinking problems if i'm not mistaken. Didn't he also usd drugs as well?

            Tyson? I don't even have to say anything. He and 2Pac were best friends. That says it all.

            Leonard - Long layoffs, retina injury, out of shape when he lost, he looked flabby.

            Ali took too much punishment in his career. He had tough 15 round fights that took a lot out of his career.
