The decline has been pretty steep. He was just ridiculously athletic when he was younger. He never had to pick his spots or conserve energy like he does now

Holyfield was still pretty athletic in his late 30’s. And I don’t wanna hear that steroids shyt either

Yeah, I mean you can tell he isn't rookie LeBron but he is still stronger than the majority of nba guys lol.

Tf are you talking about. The decline is pretty obvious/significant. He just started so far above anyone with a similar physique.

Maybe Mike Tyson but active Lebron is up there.

 

[Sbp]

He's no Cal Ripken

Damn good comp. Even when he fought Berto, he was still the much faster fighter.

Decline has been enormous, no idea where anyone is getting "No significant decline" from.

He's lost top-end speed, hops, lateral movement, lift on his jumper, endurance, and he heals slow from everything. He frequently can't get past his guy unless he times it right and isn't elevating over defenders on layups. He's pretty much Wolverine in Logan status now.

Put some respek on Terry Funk's name

Most athletic old guy is definitely Ken Stabler, who was still playing quarterback for the Saints at 57.
