    Any fighter who looked older than they were?

    I'll start: Mario Martinez. When he fought JCC he was 19 - he looked 39.

    Actually, most of the fighters pre-1935. Those guys looked 40 at 20.

    Any pics I saw of Lee Savold always looked to me like there was very little tread left on those tires. But he actually wasn't that old in them at all.

    Yaqui Lopez had a bit of it going on with his hard worn look. Bloody good fighter too.
