    My guess would be better PED's being a big factor.

          Wlad is 39 still on top

          Mayweather just went out on top at 38

          Jmm was world class at 40
          Because these guys who are elite and very old in boxing terms haven't lost their drive to stay in tip top shape and active. You look at Tyson, Leonard, Chavez, and Ali and it was obvious that they weren't as committed professionally as they were when they had that drive at a young age.

              These are some valid reasons

                  they've found out that a 750 ml mixture of saline and vitamin C plus 150k plus dollar US paid to USADA is better than any existing PEDs

                    Everything is progressive. Ever learning and ever evolving. Therefore better.
