    As I already mentioned, Hopkins didn't even win a world title until he was over 30.

    He went on to completely unify the middleweight division and then win the light heavyweight title three separate times, including a unification win at age 49.

      That's why I always say it's Miles instead of Age. Hopkins didn't start boxing until he was in prison in his twenties.

      And look at Amir Mansour

          Apparently Donaire is past his prime, and beating Ryan Burnett and having FOTY against Inoue just proves Inoue is trash.


          Sergio is a good example though.

            Nah idk why anyone would think that

            And Sergio is almost the poster boy of reaching prime late age

              Maybe Wlad when he started training with Steward. I think he was in his 30s then and perfected a somewhat ugly style that worked better for him.

                Pascal does fight better now than he has in a long time. He is throwing better shorter more accurate punches and seems to be throwing more punches than ever before.

                  Holyfield as a heavyweight.

                    Well I know 100% for sure Floyd hit his prime when he turned 36.

                    Everybody knows that.
