Just a random thought breezing through my mind on this sultry afternoon in London. Both men lost the world title to men named Spinks at the age of 36. Muhammad won it back next time out and many THOUGHT Larry did in rematches against them. Both made ill advised comebacks at 38 after two years retirement. Both won their first world title bouts as underdogs. Both scored two of their most career defining victories at age 32. Anyone know of anymore statistics they share ? Or even two other boxers ?
Oh Yes, Both were only stopped Once (After Approx two year layoffs) Both hit the canvas against four opponents (if Chuck's acredited KD included) (At a Stretch ) Both put their Hometowns on the Map.
