    Boxing looks like it has found the fountain of youth with all these old champions

    Hopkins
    Calazaghe
    Campbell
    Casamayor
    Forrest
    Wright
    etc

    along with a slew of old contenders who still perform on an elite level

    Mosley
    De La Hoya
    Tarver
    Mayorga
    Toney
    Holyfield
    etc
    Whats your opinion are people as a whole just takin better care of ourselves or have these guys found the elusive fountain of youth?

    They just understand the body better these days and it is not about age any more for fighter it is hard fights that they have been in.

    they fight less often than fighters from earlier eras so they have less wear and tear on there bodys so they can fight for longer
