    Sure, 35 is not an age today. These guys live like kings in their free time, best food, great lifestyle. They train a few months before they fight and most fight only twice a year.

    Just look at any football player except Ronaldo, how old they look like. Robben for example, looks like in his mid 40's but is 31, he looked the same with 25. Those guys destroy their bodies.

    Boxers only get stronger and better.

    Boxing is like Cycling, it's not a young man's game, because you're body needs to mature and get stronger.

    35 in boxing is past your prime, it is not young for any sport.

    maybe not 35 but 25 defenitly isn't prime anymore! I think 30 is the prime age if a boxer didn't start pros too young

    Robin looked 40 when he was 22. I don't think that proves anything.
