Fighters who were better in their early 20s then later 20s?

[Science]

I was watching Mayorga vs Vargas earlier, and I almost felt bad for Vargas. He was stiff, tight, and slow in the Mayorga fight. He was 28 and I think he had a back issue which was why he took those years off. The same Vargas who fought Quartey Trinidad Wright and even the juiced up De La Hoya verrsion would have destroyed Mayorga and I think he would have even beaten Mosley.

What are some other fighters who were better in their early 20s then late 20s?

He and David Reid are the only people I can think of.

Ray Mancini. Sometimes I look at his boxrec cuz its so f#cking nuts he was a HOF guy who never won a fight past the age of 22. Dude was reallllly f#cking good realllllly f#cking young. Burned out super quick doe too obviously.

People need to take into consideration the level of opposition early in these fighters' careers. And that could be a reason why fighters look better early on.

Chances are Vargas was juiced to the fkin gills in all his early fights.

Wilfred Benitez. Fernando Vargas.

Benitez was arguably washed up by thectime he was 24.

Muhammad Ali prime was till 25, after the three year lay off he was never the same. Still amazing tho

And which is the fun part about the body of a 24 year old reacting like that after getting beat by grown men since you were a 13 year old?.

Gatti, Delahoya, Jones Jr., Mosely all looked like monsters when they were young. To me Mayweather, Hopkins, Lewis & Calzaghe got better with age.
