    No, it doesn't hurt your legacy. I think age 36 or even 35 (or less depending on how many fights and rounds you've boxed) and above you a pretty legit excuse for losing and losses after this don't really hurt your legacy. Especially when it's clear that you're just not the same fighter that you once were.

    Maybe to you, but to real boxing fans, we don't **** on Leonards legacy because he was KO by Camacho, and other similar scenarios with other fighters. :bart

    The problem with you is that you're a *******, so since you've only been following boxing for less than a era, you don't fully grasp the reality of a fighter being shot.

    When and if Pacquiao lingers around long enough, he too will have his losses against journey men (in Pac's case, "again"), and at that point you'll realize what REAL fans already know.

    I don't even think its about age. It's about accomplishments.

    Take Benitez for example. He was pretty much done by his mid twenties, but has an ATG record.
