Floyd Mayweather is a racist punk

Check the record before you use that one.

I'm not following? Maybe it's just recent memory, but it always seemed like Boxers hold on a little too long because that's when they make the big bucks with bouts.

Most certainly hang on too long but nearly every one of the great boxers lost a match or 4 in their heyday.

Muhammid Ali - Was 29(im not checking months, so 29ish)
Joe Frazier - Was 29 when he lost his first match
George Foreman - Was 25
Evander Holifield - was 30
Mike Tyson - was 24
Lennox Lewis - was 29
Pacquiano - was 18
De La Hoya - was 26
Felix Trinidad - 28
Bernard Hopkins - 28
Roy Jones Jr. - 35

im too lazy to look for boxers that i don't find through wikipedia links

I'm assuming these are ages when they first lost?

Isn't 29/30 kind of old for a fighter?

A little bit, but not exactly over-the-hill in their 40s and don't know how to quit old.

Mayweather is 33.

And he 'retired' after the De La Hoya fight.

Maybe don't know how to quit is too harsh, I just meant it seems like they usually lose to a guy in his prime. Upon further review (thinking that Ali, Frazier were pretty much the only exceptions) I'm talking out my ass.

I don't think you could say that Ali was past his prime when he lost to Frazier in The Fight of The Century with any legitimacy. He'd saved 3 years of trauma to his noggin prior to that when he refused to go to Vietnam.

I wouldn't at all, he's only two years older than Frazier. Then he beat Foreman for George's first loss. I meant I was thinking Ali/Frazier were two of the greatest of all time and thought they were similar ages (2 years apart), so I was gonna say that doesn't count. But Holyfield lost to an older fighter, Foreman lost to Ali. I pretty much stopped after those guys, it looks like even the guys who were older in their first loss, lost to someone same age or older.
