I can't think of one.
And I mean knocking the guy because he didn't have 100 plus fights before his skills eroded?
Not at all., It's not about quantity, it's about quality. What I meant by comparing SRR's 100 plus fights, was that he actually was 122-1 by his 11th year, tough to say his skills eroded after 100 plus fights, so we have to use age. to which I agree with you that by 35 he was shot. But not after 50 fights, let alone 120 fights.
Come on, dude. Sugar Ray Robinson was shit at 35. So was Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Pernell Whitaker, ect ect. That's the age where guys are typically past their prime, if not sooner.
