    It varies from boxer to boxer but on average it starts at age 30 the tradition age when boxers start to slide. Just because you don't notice the boxer going down hill doesn't mean it is not happening. Boxers don't go from prime to washed up in one or two years. They just get a bit worse each year. You say you see no sign of slowing down in Loma and Crawford. I do see both of them slowing down a bit and they are not quit as good as they were at age 30. They can stain hard and live right but they will still get a little worse each year. I think both of these great fighters will take a loss within a year or two. Any sport that can be measured with a stop watch or a tape measure shows that athletes peak about age 27 on average and then slowly start to slide. Each year a guy that runs a mile will have a slow down of a second or two when he passes 30. Each passing year his times get a second or two slower. no enough to notice just watching but enough to start losing races he used to win.

      Wear n tear is the biggest factor.

      A guy can fight forever if he is fighting bums.

        Depends on the boxer and their lifestyle and the wear and tear
