    If it really "annoys" you that much then don't watch. It's that simple.

    some fighter who dont burn themselves out acually start to learn how to fight, experience is a thing of Beauty....Toney, B-Hop, Jones are still fighting well...Jones and Hopkins are always in condition and B-Hop is better now as a light heavy....Vitali at 38 is fighting smarter and is beating younger guys....age is a number

    He's talkin' about your avatar although I reckon it's the Lexington Avenue line myself (4,5,6), not the G.

    Holyfield is 46 way past his prime but he DECISIVLY beat Russian Giant who is the urrent WBA champ and who David Haye faces to be #3 in the world. His win was more clear than Chagaev win over Valuev.

    Hopkins is 44 past his prime but he narrowly lost to Joe Calzaghe and totally embarrased PAvlik middleweight champ in his prime and Antonio Tarver.

    Roy Jones is 41 but recently he performs very well against decent competition.

    Vitali Klitschko is nearly 40 but he is still the man to beat and a favourite against....anyone.

    Fragomeni is 40 but still good enough to fight for titles at CW.

    Glen Johnson 40 IMO overrated and will lose badly to Dawson but we will see, maybe he can knock Dawson out and will be the man to beat at LHW.

    Shane Mosley 39 still one of the best in the world, avoided by second best fighter in the world p4p Floyd Mayweather.

    Nate Campbell 38 I think is fighting the rematch with Bradley for all the marbles.

    They're selling their fights. You expect them to say otherwise?

    I think its not only about the fact if an aged boxer can win or not or whether he is good enough...I had Holyfield winning the fight against Valuev, but im beginning to worry about his health :roll:
