The legends and when they lost badly due to old age

Father time creeps up quickly then you get put in front of a young whipper snapper who will literally eat you for breakfast

Floyd Mayweather 44 - to a youtuber.

Pacquiao should be thankful it wasn't Spence. He's a KO waiting to happen.

 

Archie Moore was 41 when he lost to Marciano, 42 when Patterson KO’d him.

Larry Homes was 38 when he was stopped by Tyson, 41 when Holyfield beat him.

 

Roy Jones Jr v Danny Green - TKO1

 

Nah Wlad still had life left in him could have beat everyone in the division but AJ & Fury. If AJ didn't have youth on his side for thta big 2nd wind Wlad would have beat him.

Age brings benefits for heavyweights also. Ali & Foreman became unstoppable once they hit full maturity. 33 year old 270 pound Fury will exhibit this same feat in October when Wilder's wombo combo bounces off his chin and Fury is again not even dazed.

 

Father time had nothing to do with Duran losing to Lawlor, Duran outright did'nt train vs Lawlor and he did what he did in the 2nd Leonard fight, he quit, only against Lawlor Duran did more of a Hopkins move and faked an injury to bow out of the fight.

If I'm not mistaken, Duran rematched Lawlor years later and beat him handily.

 

Better examples are Chavez vs Tszyu and Holyfield vs Toney.

 

Floyd Mayrunner - Brother of Jake Paul
Mike Tyson - Danny Williams (KO)
Mike Tyson - Kevin McBride (RTD)
Evander Holyfield - James Toney (TKO)

James Toney was badass that night. Evander was still dangerous despite his age.

 

Leonard-Norris

 

Tyson-Lewis
