    It seems like a lot of guys hit their stride, and do well early like Jeff Lacy or Fernando Vargas whereas others like Bernard Hopkins can win titles for longer.

    Can all fighters improve, or do some just lack the opportunity or discipline to better themselves?

    Thanks.

    You can always improve. Always. It simply takes the drive to do so. If you want it bad enough, you'll find ways to improve; the resources to help you and the people to instruct you.

    As said above, you can ALWAYS improve, even Jones+Pac+Floyd put together can still improve

    No, not everyone can improve. Some people play the guitar for years and never play worth **** or get worse.

    in boxing you gain experiances when you fight different styles of boxers,,

    once you know how to throw all the punch's correctly ,good foot work ,& great fitness ,,,then you need to know how to box againest your opponents,,you watch & look for weaknesses

    do you hear coach's say we have a game plan to bet him

    yes you do improve until you have learned what to do ,,then your experiences take you the rest of the way

    So you're saying experience does not improve your boxing ability?

    Also with belief, hard-work and the discipline to keep going at it even when you don't get the immediate feedback in results. It WILL come!
