U may lose some speed but u gain loads of experience.

very rare but..... none of those guys rely on speed.... and hopkins against a young fast fighter who he cant counter would lose, look at jones he still has good speed (not freaky speed) his legs are shot, his reflexes are not close to what they were, experienc eis great but id be willing to bet hopkins peaked at 32-34 and hes a bigger man smaller men dont have as long careers, george foreman another expmaple, his skills were not what he was when he was 27 but he was more calm in there and he had power the last thing to leave and eventually he got lucky but not before lsing and awful lot
Joe C doesnt rely on speed? Have u actually wathced Calzaghe fight, his main weapon is his speed.....
