They'd get beat fighting top guys or they'd get worn down fighting THAT many top guys.
If you put any old QB in a similar situation you'd have guys lasting much longer on a more regular basis. In fact look at that Ice Cube basketball league. Thats a lesser form of basketball & its a lesser group of young talent involved & I heard there are a lot of old heads doing well there. That couldn't happen in the NBA cuz the cream rises to the NBA. But in their 3rd rate basketball league you can have old names doing well.
Thats boxing. Not cuz there isn't talent in boxing, but because you can decide the level of talent you wanna face (outside of a few instances, elimination fights & mandatory's) which is unique to boxing as far as highly watched sports go.
