Some posters here clearly confuse the significance of these 2 factors. It seems like some are quick to agree that youth is a bigger factor when analyzing a fight. The last few weeks of boxing showed us that skills is clearly a couple of notches above youth when it comes to boxing. Mosely, despite being past prime and a lot older than the likes of Berto, Ortiz, Bradley, Alexander, Maidana, etc.. all young and hungry, would still be a greater threat because his skills will allow him to win.
