I don't know. Klitschko is about 40, and he seems to fight just about as well as he did when he was much younger. Age doesn't affect each fighter...
You think Moore might have had some contact with the 12-year-old? A great fighter isn't immune from sins of the flesh.

But he avenged both losses. And don't act like Holmes could have easily been knocked out by both Snipes and Shavers -- He was that close! Sure, he...
