    Which current fighters can you see fighting good into their 40s?

    Are there any fighters right now that you think will have real longevity where they’ll still be fighting at a decent/good level into their 40s?

            Pacquiao will fight into his 40s, but how good he’ll be in the next 2 or 3 years who knows. To be fair he has won all his recent fights outside of Mayweather. I don’t count the Horn fight as a loss regardless of what the judges say.

              Floyd if he wanted to. He’d have to continue avoiding naturally bigger frame guys with long reach (like Spence), but that would be business as usual for Floyd. He’s done that for years.

              And big HWs can go into their 40s, jab and hold. Rinse, repeat.

              Generally the party is over at 35 or so.

                  I think Golovkin could because he's been successful and he's not that good to begin with. The power is the last thing go and he has very good leverages. It's just that from what I've been seeing the last year with his team, I think he's lacking motivation and is looking to cash out.

                  Oddly enough I think Canelo could go into his 40's too. Mostly because of his marketability he only needs to fight a few times a year max and that will extend his career in terms of punishment.

                  I don't see a lot of other guys right now because a lot of them rely on speed and once that goes, very few are able to make the adjustments, because their skills are developed around the speed.

                    Let's be fair though, if Pacquiao wasn't done, he would have stopped Horn or won by a total shutout.

                    Whether you agree with the decision or not, it was competitive because Pacquiao is basically finished as a top fighter.
