    Stallone's done what exactly? Look all bloated and HGH filled at 60 in Rambo and the last Rocky?

    Ray Robinson landed the perfect left hook ever thrown aged 37.

    Foreman reedemed himself 20 years after the Rumble in the Jungle.

    Moore went though hell to beat Durelle in their first fight.

    Holmes gave the undefeated Ray Mercer a boxing lesson aged 42.

    For his age he looked in decent shape in those movies..he would have never been able to do that without the help of drugs.

    "Looking" like you're in decent shape doesn't mean you're a elite world class athlete.

    Steroids are a tool, not magic.

    john conteh wasn't old,just finished,when he fought saad muhammad in his last hurrah and only for the cement they put round saad muhammads eye he would have won.
    as somebody else mentioned,sugar ray knocking fullmer out.
    the best left hook left i've ever seen.
    agree with charles and walcott too against rocky.although i think marciano is over-rated 'he did well to get up from that knockdown.

    why mention stallone?he's not a boxer in any way shape or form,he can't act either
