    What local authority did Toney and Hopkins work for?

    Never knew Montell Griffith and Virgil hill worked as traffic enforcers.

    Exactly. You could Ali fading towards the end as well. Reflexes go first, then speed and agility. Power, they say, is the last to go. (see Foreman)

    Someone like... Hamed.. for example, who dominated because of athleticism, would have a shorter career than some like say...JMM...who dominated because of toughness and technique (see Hopkins and to a lesser degree, Morales).

    That's why its easier to hang around at higher weight classes where there are less opponents who are quick and nimble, than at a lower weights.

    We will probably never see a 46 yr old FW or LW champion.

    it could be argued greats find a way to win when they are shot, Ali vs spinks 2, Duran vs Barkley
