    Wilfred Benitez peaked before he was 24.

    Mike Tyson peaked at 21.

    Donald Curry peaked at 23-24.

    Pipino Cuevas peaked in his early 20s, arguably his late teens, and started going downhill at 22.

    Fernando Vargas peaked at 22.

    Sugar Ray Leonard's peak years were 23-25.

    Davey Moore peaked at 23.

    It's very easy actually to find examples of fighters peaking at 24 or younger.
    The only reasons they peaked at those times were prob cuz of injuries, or they just stopped training like they use to. Naturally they would not peak until late 20s, early 30s. Ali's peak was like 25, but thats cuz he couldnt fight for 3 years after that, but naturally it would of been like 29.

      Khan over achieved at 140, he achieved nothing of note since.

      He is old news, his legacy is for being chinny and ducking Brook.

        Athletes generally should peak mid to late 20s but everyone is different. Some start earlier, some start later, sometimes they have some hard fights that affect them physically or mentally. Others just plateau at a certain age or level and can't improve anymore.

          he's okay i guess. i expected him to completely wipe out algieri, but he struggled badly because he just isn't that good.

          he's not an elite fighter but he can give exciting fights.
