      I remember seeing something on twitter like a year ago or more that someone said David Lemieux slept him in sparring. Someone said it. How true any of it is I have no idea.

              According to Canelo fans. You can't be prime unless you struggle, and then you are in your prime and is not actually not that good.

                Not everyone ages the same, its like how one person may smoke cigarettes for most of their lives and never get cancer. Yet another person does it for 10 or so years and they suddenly have cancer. Everyone reacts different, it surely also makes a difference if you treat your body well.

                      I don't think there is a specific age that a fighter starts declining. The varies for a number of reasons.

                      But if you look at most professional boxers they have been doing it for a number of years that includes their amateur career. That is a lot of wear and tear on the body on such a brutal sport.
