    There are lots of heavyweights who were still good from 37-40 year range.

    They don't need to "peak"

    Shane just beat Margarito, one of the "toughest" challenges at this weight class. He's obviously still a top welterweight and just got completely derailed by a quicker, more competent boxer than him - it wasn't even close.

    Fighters who were still "cooking" at 38.

    Bernard Hopkins.
    Joe Calzaghe.
    Lennox Lewis.
    Vitali Klitschko.

    You are suffering from emotional tramua.

    Ask your doctor if risperidone is right for you.

    Generic.

    In the real world fighters fight fighters in front of them.

    You will see this once the medication kicks in.

    Good luck and bless you.

    During Marciano's era, old fighters are the top contenders.

    Shows how weak that era was.

    Yeah, maybe power is more important in the HW division compared to speed and stamina in the lower weight divisions. Or maybe there are just more bums in the HW division generally.

    fighters peak at 28 and not 38.. Mosley was old, but he was champ. I think this is a good win but not a great win. Maybe in the middle of good and great. Very good.

    Did you even either read the question at all or did you even research how those guys are performing at 38?

    only Hopkins is correct in there. Vitali is somewhat good at 38, but hardly his former self.
