    I got a lot of researching to do, but I know Duran goes against my theory. He started pretty earlier in his life

    He's an exception :D

    Both are more exceptions. I'm thinking my theory only applies to modern fighters :think

    Ruben Olivarez debut was when he was 17
    Holmes's debut was at 23, but it said he started boxing at 19 which is pretty late
    Foreman was a special case since he took such a long layoff

    Calzaghe. Hadn't done **** in ten years and at 34 was supposed to be cannon fodder for Lacy. Then he destroyed him and went on to beat Kessler and Hopkins in my opinion and anyone not on drugs his two best wins.
