Roy Jones Jr, Ali, Leonard, Mayweather, Toney, Hearns, Benitez etc. All started their careers super young and got big fights early on in their careers.
Mayweather was 21 when he fought Genaro Hernandez
Roy Jones was 24 when he fought Hopkins and 25 when he fought Toney
Leonard had foughten Benitez, Hearns, and Duranx2 by the time he was 25
You know what kind of fighters I like out there right now
Dirrell, Berto, Gamboa, Rigondeaux, Dawson, Donaire, etc
THe cubans are starting their careers after 25, and besides Chad Dawson most of the athletic, quick guys aren't even fighting legitimate contenders until they are 25. IMO this is making them worse. They need to get that experience young.
