    This was actually pretty uplifting to me. I started Boxing late, and I always have that in the back of my mind when thinking about becoming a pro. Thank you!

    I can't say much about whether or not that's true. But I do notice my hands being noticeably slower at 40, than they were at 38. It's harder to get shots off faster at this age.

    Aging is a myth, mind over matter, you have to consider just how powerful the human mind is before you talk about the myth of aging.

    That's why your walk around weight should be close to what you fight at. See Froch n Floyd n Ward for recent examples.
