When is a Boxer's Prime?

I believe that styles also come into play. Swarmers lose their primes early. Many, but not all, Swarmers are on the decline around 28 years of age. Boxers generally can hang around longer, as the experience and tricks they gain sometimes offsets the loss of speed. Many, but not all, Boxers are still in their primes at 33. Personally, I think heavy handed Sluggers and Hybrid Fighters can last the longest. Strength (Punch) is usually the last thing to go. I've seen some (not all) Sluggers who are still very dangerous at 36 plus. I agree that it always depends on the individual, how hard he trains, adjustments he's able to make, etc.

I agree about the swarmers. Guys like Joe Frazier, Curtis Parker and Frankie Warren were all burning out in their late 20s.

Yes, I travel the world doing crazy ultramarathons.

I don't seem to become more sensible with age!

You'd think something like that would keep you young.

It makes you look younger, but it becomes less sensible, as you get older!
