Age is not a bad measuring stick. However, I harp on records because we have these cases of fighters that skipped having an amateur career, choosing instead to fatten a professional record in their own hometown with woefully questionable opposition. Numbers are numbers and many people only base their opinions and assumptions based on those. Someone not familiar with boxing might look at JCC's 107 wins and say "Damn..... he must've been twice as good as any ATG with "only" 50 wins." When in actuality some of these fighters that "only" win 40 or 50 fights have fought terrific opposition since about their 10th fight. Just keeping a level playing field.
